A member asked:

So i believe its bv the inly thing that's worked is h202 as a douche. can this be harmful i've heard so many different answers for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful.: Not only is it unlikely to be harmful if used in low concentrations, there is controversial data suggesting efficacy against yeast infections. The question is why are you douching? It is really unnecessary since the vaginal fluids drain naturally and should not have a bad odor unless your are infected.
