What is douching???

Question

😕 confused

Answer

So a douche is something women use to clean their vaginas. It looks like this: 
And this is how it's used:
However, it's very inadvisable to douche. Vaginas clean themselves naturally. 
Douching can disturb the natural bacteria women have in their vaginas that create a healthy acidic pH level, and cause an imbalance. 
Douching can also cause infections (ex: Bacterial Vaginosis, yeast infection), dryness and irritation, and pelvic inflammatory disease (which can cause problems during pregnancy).
STDs are also a health risk with douching, and if you already have some type of infection, douching can push the bacteria farther in the vagina and further exacerbate the issue (and cause PID).

Hope this helped! 😊
