26 yearold female, found 2have vaginal yeast infection.is intense cleaning of the genital area(no douching)worsen the condition? ideal cleaning method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intense cleaning?: Intense cleaning of a woman's genital area is not a good idea! a gentle, normal amount of daily cleaning is fine. Intense cleaning can make things worse by roughing up all the surfaces, not to mention making a person very unhappy.
