Is douching safe for you?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Likely yes.: This helps clean things out, and as long as other things, like showers are done should be no trouble as long as it is done correctly, according to instructions. Good personal hygiene, along with regular and appropriate visits to the doctor is likely the best way to be safe.
