Effect of acidic vaginal pH on the efficacy of dinoprostone (PGE 2 ) vaginal tablet for labor induction in full term pregnant women: a randomized controlled trial.

Vaginal acidification seems to have no effect on the efficacy of the dinoprostone vaginal tablet. Even though it may reduce the need for oxytocin augmentation, there is no apparent benefit on clinical outcomes, such as reduction in cesarean section rates or shorter labor duration. Future research is necessary in order to validate these findings.
