A member asked:

Shower head forced water into vagina won't this cause a disruption of bacteria can this harm tissue to force water in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly...: A gentle douche is ok occasionally but will cause problems if done frequently. High pressure water isn't a good idea because it can push bacteria into the uterus or abdomen and cause infection. Frequent vaginal rinsing can disrupt normal bacteria and cause other problems. Best wishes!
