A member asked:

I had a laproscopic hysterectomy is having a smell is part of the healing process and after i heal is it ok to douche?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minor infection: You can use a vinegar and water douche or Metrogel after your 4 week healing is over. Sometimes there is some odor and drainage in the first few weeks even if no infection.
