A member asked:

If i douche after sex will it stop my chances of concieving?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Douching after sex does not prevent pregnancy. Also, douching is not recommended, as it is not necessary to douche in order to keep the vagina clean and can actually increase your risk of infections.
