Are you a woman still using douching as a method to ‘clean’ your vagina?  If you are, you’re not alone.  Studies say that up to 1 in 4 women use douching.  But it’s time to kick the habit!  Despite some cultural beliefs that douching ‘cleans’ the vagina, the truth is that douching may actually increase our risks for vaginal infections.  The vagina is well equipped with a natural balance of good bacteria, and needs no ‘cleaning’.  Douching can disrupt this balance of protective bacteria, and increase the chances for overgrowth of infectious bacteria, thus increasing our chances for vaginal infection.
