Abstract：The imbalance of vagina microenvironment could cause vaginal infection.Vaginal pH is a convenient and fast way to estimate the vagina microenvironment.The increase of vaginal pH was closely associated with cervical human pappiloma virus (HPV) infection,and even with multi-type HPV infection,which increased the incidence of low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) of vagina and cervix.Bacterial vaginosis (BV),a most common vaginal infection,could increase the cervical HPV infection.Women with sexually transmitted infection (STI) had higher morbidity of cervical HPV infection.It was reported that vaginal infection of Candida albicans or trichomonas would not be related to cervical HPV infection.The common vaginal infections might not be directly associated with HPV-associated cervical lesions.
