A member asked:

How to you flush monistat cream out of the vagina? is it safe to douche?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The vagina is self=cleansing and does not need a douche to remove anything. Regular douche user subject themselves to recurrent vaginal infections because they "wash out" the good bacteria that keeps the vagina healthy.
