Why do doctors say douching is bad? Is there any other product I can use besides Douche to clean me out?
The reason doctors say douching is bad is because your body produces it's own cleansing agents. If you douche, you could actually push bacteria up into your vagina and cervix. This could cause infection. It has been said that it's best to let your body do the work and clean itself.
You don't really need to be cleaned out. Douche is bad because it disrupts your body's natural pH levels. Most people that douche have yeast infections. The natural pH of your body makes it inhabitable for bacteria, etc.
Your body will expell everything when you have your period.
Your insides are self cleaning. Only clean the outside. Douching kills off your natural bacterial flora & allows the overgrowth of organisms, like candida which causes yeast infections.
Douches takes out the natural fluids out of your body which contains things that keep you from getting an infection. You can get an infection if you do it to much.
The best thing to do is after your period but some baking soda in the bath tub and soak in that. The Ob that my sister went to when she was younger told her to do that because she was prone to infections due to a weakend immune system.
douching can force bateria further up your reproductive tract and cause infections.
Normal day to day hygiene will take care of any "cleaning out" you feel is necessary. Now...if you have inserted something. you may need to see the gyno. But sexual and mentrual fluids can be cleaned up with a bath.
