A member asked:
What can vulva washing with no abnormal discharge hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Describe washing? : Washing the vulva or outer vaginal lips with mild soaps or body wash is part of good regular hygiene. Using harsh soaps or chemicals, abrasive scrub sponges, can create skin irritation. Douching, or washing the inside of the vagina with or without chemical/ soaps/ antiseptics is not recommended as it harms the important balance of good bacteria & ph in the vagina that protects us from infection.
