A member asked:
Is it safe to moisturizer the vulva with olive oil? particularly if you're pregnant & prone to yeast infections..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many midwifes will recommend massaging the area beneath the vagina and rectum (the perineum) with olive oil in the last weeks of pregnancy to reduce the risk of tears. This should not be dangerous.
