A member asked:
What are douches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Douches: Douches use a fluid to wash out the vagina. They are rarely a good idea since they can wash bacteria up into the uterus and can cause infections. The vagina is self-cleaning and bathing or showering is all you need to do in order to stay clean.
