I have heard some contraversal info on douching. Is it good or bad? Any help wou!


Question: Theoretically you are not supposed to douche. If you feel you just HAVE to, try using clear water, preferably distilled so you don't upset the acid/alkaline balance of your personal environment.

If there's a smell, discharge or itch, see your doctor. You could have a yeast infection (especially if you have recently taken antibiotics because they can kill off the good bacteria that keep the yeast in check). Make sure your boyfriend washes his hands before he touches your vaginal area, and you wash your hands before inserting a tampon, because you don't want to import any bacteria to the area either. Or you could possibly have an STD; either way, it would need to be treated.

Its bad! Dont do it. It can mess up your PH and throw everything off in your vagina. It can also make you more pron to disease and infection.

I had some very irritating itching going on after douching and my doctor informed me that douching is bad due to the fact if you're cleaning yourself properly it is not needed. He said I was therefore removing all the normal bacteria from my vaginal. One the antibiotics worked I never douched again.

straight from my gyno.......Its BAD! because, it kills not only the bad germs but the good ones which protect vaggy from infections and it open up your unprocted area to worse germs ending in severe yeast infections or worse! also he told me only do it if you HAVE TO but if it gets to that point then you should see a doctor because nobody likes a smelly girl lol good luck

its bad..dont do it cuz it will change the enviroment of vagina which hv some benificial organism,,these protects u gainst lots of infection...douching causes the change of normal flora..makes easy to get disease

It's bad. I don't know why they even sell it.

Douching is bad. It kills the natural bacteria in your vagina that helps keep you healthy. Yes, there is such thing as good bacteria.
