Inflammation and
infections

Vaginal infections are among the most common disorders that can affect women of all ages. They may have bacterial, fungal, or viral origins and often manifest with itching, burning, irritation, or abnormal discharge. These conditions are almost always rooted in an imbalance of the natural vaginal flora and pH, which are fundamental for protection and intimate health.

Maintaining hydration, a physiological pH, and balanced bacterial flora is essential to prevent and reduce vaginal inflammation. Dermolivo products support the mucosa, protect against infections, and promote daily well-being.

Inflammation and infections: some universal tips

Vaginal infections should not be seen merely as a temporary nuisance: they often signal an altered intimate balance. The health of the mucous membranes, acidic pH, and beneficial bacterial flora are the three elements that work together to protect vaginal health and reduce the risk of recurrence. Let’s take a closer look at how each of these aspects contributes to intimate well-being.

Mucosal health

The vaginal mucous membranes play an active role in defending against bacteria and harmful microorganisms, creating a natural barrier. When altered or dry, they become more vulnerable to infections and discomfort. Keeping the mucous membranes hydrated helps preserve their elasticity, comfort, and protective capacity, reducing irritation and the risk of recurrence.

Acid pH

A physiologically acidic vaginal pH is essential for protection against infections. An altered pH can promote the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and make the mucosa more susceptible to irritation. It is important to maintain this condition even in our daily routines.

Balanced microflora

The vaginal flora, mainly composed of lactobacilli, is the first line of defense against infections. Strengthening it means maintaining the balance of the vaginal ecosystem and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, as well as the adhesion of potentially pathogenic viruses.

Addressing vaginal inflammation and infections means caring for a very delicate balance involving the mucous membranes, pH, and bacterial flora. These are common disorders affecting many women at different stages of life and can have various causes—bacterial, fungal, or viral—but they share a common underlying mechanism: the disruption of the natural harmony of the vaginal environment.

The vaginal mucous membranes are not merely a lining but a living, active barrier that protects against external agents. When dry, irritated, or damaged, they become more vulnerable and less effective in countering harmful bacteria and microorganisms. Keeping the mucous membranes well-hydrated is therefore the first step to ensuring comfort, elasticity, and effective protection against infections.

Equally important is the role of vaginal pH. Under physiological conditions, it is naturally acidic, making it a powerful ally in intimate defense: it inhibits the proliferation of pathogens while supporting the growth of lactobacilli, the “good” bacteria of the vaginal flora. pH alterations—caused by stress, hormonal changes, antibiotic treatments, or overly aggressive cleansers—disrupt this balance, leaving the mucosa more exposed to infections and discomfort.

The bacterial flora, dominated by lactobacilli, completes this natural defense system. It not only helps maintain acidic pH but also produces protective substances that hinder colonization by pathogenic microorganisms. When the flora is depleted or imbalanced, infections appear more easily and, in persistent cases, may recur cyclically.

For this reason, intimate well-being should not be limited to treating symptoms as they arise; it must also include preventive action to maintain harmony among mucous membranes, pH, and bacterial flora. A correct daily routine—including gentle hygiene, hydration, and support for beneficial flora—helps reduce recurrences and discomfort, improving overall intimate quality of life.

The Dermolivo gynecological line was developed with this precise goal: to provide targeted and respectful support capable of simultaneously acting on mucous membrane hydration, maintenance of physiological pH, and reinforcement of beneficial bacterial flora. Thanks to innovative and gentle formulations, Dermolivo becomes a valuable ally in addressing and preventing intimate infections, helping women restore balance, well-being, and confidence in their daily lives.

What did we learn?

Vaginal health is based on the balance between hydrated mucous membranes, physiological pH, and beneficial bacterial flora. When any of these elements is disrupted, the risk of infections and inflammation increases. Caring for them daily with gentle, targeted products such as those in the Dermolivo line not only alleviates discomfort but, most importantly, helps prevent recurrences and maintain long-term intimate well-being.

An answer to the most frequently asked questions

Vaginal inflammations and infections are very common, yet they often raise questions and concerns. In this section, we answer the most frequently asked questions to clarify their causes, symptoms, and prevention methods, and to explain how the Dermolivo line can provide valuable support in restoring balance and intimate well-being.

What are the most common causes of vaginal infections?

Infections can be bacterial, fungal, or viral in origin and are often promoted by alterations in the vaginal flora, pH, or mucosal irritations.

Itching, burning, redness, abnormal discharge, and unpleasant odor are the most common symptoms.

Proper intimate hygiene involves gentle washes with specific products such as Dermolivo Intimate Cleansing Foam, which respect vaginal pH and flora, no more than twice a day.

Maintaining mucous membrane hydration, respecting vaginal pH, and supporting beneficial flora are essential to reduce the risk of recurrent infections. Daily habits also make a difference: proper intimate hygiene, the use of gentle cleansers, breathable underwear, a balanced nutrient-rich diet, and a healthy lifestyle all help strengthen natural defenses and maintain intimate balance over time.

The Dermolivo line is designed to hydrate and soothe the mucous membranes, rebalance pH, and support the bacterial flora, helping to protect the mucosa and prevent discomfort and infections.

No. Dermolivo is a complementary support for intimate well-being but does not replace pharmacological treatments or therapies prescribed by a doctor.
