Objective: To determine the correlation between vaginal pH in menopausal women with the age and duration of menopause. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytic study conducted on 32 menopausal women in the obstetrics and gynaecology department of a teaching hospital in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi. The data collection used a questionnaire comprising sociodemographic data, history of menstruation, menopausal symptoms, and medication. Measurement of vaginal pH was using a pH strip. We carried the interpretation out by matching the colour change on the strip with the rating indicator on a calorimetric scale. Statistical analysis used the Chi-square test with a signifi cance level of p <0.05. Result: Most respondents were 50-55 years old. The majority of menopausal ages were 52 years, and the mean age of menopause was 50.31 ± 2.63 years. Vaginal pH ≥6 was found at>55 years (66.7%), menopausal age <50 years (58.8%), and duration of menopause >2 years (82.4%). There was no relationship between women’s age and menopausal age with vaginal pH (p = 0.701 and p = 0.732). There was a relationship between the duration of menopause and vaginal pH (p = 0.002). Conclusions: The vaginal pH of menopausal women is related to the duration of menopause. Vaginal pH≥ 6 can be used as an alternative indicator to determine the duration
