What is douching? i've heard it's something women do what is it and why do it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cleansing of vagina!: Usually done with sexual activity or when discharge is present. Also done after menstuation, for "odor" issues. Frequently overdone. There are cultural reasons as well. It is usually not a requirement for vaginal health!
