What are the positive and negative effects of douching how long after doch before the vagina returns to its normal ph, if ph is off will u get infecti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't douche. : When you flush the vaginal vault with water, commercial products etc, you upset the normal balance of bacteria. This can set you up for a yeast infection or bacterial overgrowth like BV (bacterial vaginosis). If there are positive effects of douching, I have yet to hear them.
