Is it safe to douche with an iud inserted?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not recommended: When you douche, the water mixed with your vaginal bacteria can push into your uterus and cause infection. I dont recommend douching regardless if an iud is present or not. Remember, the vagina has a natural discharge which 'cleans' the vagina.
