Is douching recommended by health care practitioners?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Douching is not recommended. While cleaning the vagina, it destroys the protective bacteria that help keep the vagina clean and prevent infections. Douching can increase the risk of yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis.
