Question:
Some women swear by douching and others say to never douche because is causes problems. Which do you recommend?
Answer:
We do not recommend douching. This practice can even lead to severe pelvic infections that are caused by the removal of “good” bacteria and allowing the “bad” bacteria to grow. Douching can push harmful bacteria up into the uterus and tubes. If you have an abnormal discharge or odor, douching will only address the issue temporarily. Instead, you should see your doctor for an evaluation.
