Hi i just purchased a bottle of medline pvp scrub solution and was wondering if it was safe to douche with this product?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is much too strong to use as a douche. I am very hard pressed to think of any situation where douching would be recommended. It does not "clean" you and can cause irritation and make you more prone to infections by disrupting the normal balances in your vagina.
