Answers:
It should be perfectly safe!. Douches are sterile, Ph friendly (to vaginas, which are naturally acidic), and can cause no harm!.

Douches are better than water for flushing the vagina!. Water is Ph neutral, and can set you up for a yeast infection if you routinely go squirting it up there!.

The natural acidity of the vagina is a protective mechanism against infections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try to take a bath n do sit ups in the tub-it opens it -then push the water back out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do not douche you will only make it worse on the burning part!. I asume you have a yeast infection sometimes applying plain yogurt to the area lightly will ease the burning!. Also douching is not safe I have had several drs tell me that so I have never tried!. Get some monostat enough for 7 days because one dose is never enough with a yeast infection!. Also Vagisil anti itch cream works great for soothing the burn I think there is one with aloe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well if its hurting that bad then yea i would use one, my mother in law has used them, and not had any problems, otherwise try putting water in there and then back outWww@Answer-Health@Com

Call your Gyn and ask him/her what you should do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
