Answer to Question 1

The vagina is self-cleansing and during the reproductive years maintains a normal acidic pH of 4 to 5. The self-cleansing activity may be altered by antibiotic therapy, frequent douching, and excessive use of vaginal sprays, deodorant sanitary pads, or deodorant tampons.

Answer to Question 2

Leydig

The Leydig cells in the testes are stimulated by the FSH and LH to produce testosterone.
