Is it bad to Douche?

Douching is bad, because it makes women more sucseptible to infections. It disrupts the chemical balance of the vagina.

I always thought a douche was an insult? I guess you learn something new everyday.

I don’t suggest it - it can cause internal infections.

YES ITS BAD.

whats douche? sorry!

ii always thought it was an insult aswell :L Paha!! cool. x

Is Douching Healthy? Simply stated, the answer is “No.” According to a study published by the American Journal of Public Health, douching may reduce a woman’s chance of becoming pregnant during a particular month by approximately thirty percent.

Regular vaginal douching changes the delicate chemical balance of the vagina and can make a woman more susceptible to infections. Douching can introduce new bacteria into the vagina which can spread up through the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Researchers have found that women who douche regularly experience more vaginal irritations and infections such as bacterial vaginosis, and an increased number of sexually transmitted diseases.

Furthermore, regular users of vaginal douches face a 73% greater risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) – a chronic condition that can lead to infertility, or even death, if left untreated. Bacterial vaginosis and PID can have serious adverse affects on pregnancy including infections in the baby, labor problems, and preterm delivery.

For these reasons, douching is no longer recommended as a safe or healthy way to routinely clean the vagina. The only safe and healthy way to clean the vagina is to let the vagina clean itself. The delicate chemical balance of the vagina is very sensitive and easily disrupted by routine vaginal douching.

a fink dats all ya need ta know reely lol… your vagina cleans itself soo let nature take its course hehe…

It isnt that bad, I dont recommend it all the time, but it removes your monthly cycle, bad smells. It should only be used for that reason, or maybe a yeast infection. You cant knock it til you have tried it I say!!
