Question 1

what do vinegar do for the vagina?

PH alteration: Vinegar can alter the acidity of the vagina which can be an effective treatment for some infestations of that area.  It is especially good for candida although the raw surface of a candida infected vagina will cause some degree of pain when you douche with the vinegar.

Question 2

what can vinegar do to ur vagina?

Accepted Answer

It lowers the pH,: Making it more acidic &, therefore, more resistant to bacteria. I don't treat adults, so i can't speak to the efficacy in post-pubertal women. In pre-pubertal girls, the vulvar lining is only a few cell layers thick. Wiping back to front brings bacteria forward. Bubble baths or sitting in a tub with dissolved soap make the area more alkaline. Baths with 1cup of white vinegar to 6" water help.

Question 5

does vinegar help cleanse the vagina if applied tropically and washed off?

Accepted Answer

Sure, but: Vinegar would somewhat cleanse the vagina and some women douche with half strength vinegar.  But a mild soap and plain water outside the vagina and plain water inside the vagina would also be adequate for that purpose - without douching.  Few women have any need to douche, and many women who douche end up having vaginal discharge due to alteration of the vaginal flora because of the douching.
