Myths of Vaginal Douching
Myth 1 - Remove any remaining Menstrual Blood after the end of Monthly Period
Douching is not at all necessary to remove "any remaining Menstrual Blood". The body itself cleans all remaining blood after every menstrual flow.
Myth 2 - Remove a possible pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease after sexual contact
Douching by no means prevent pregnancy or stop any growth of sexually transmitted diseases. On the other stance, Douching scraps the living immunity cells of the Vagina and thus increases the chances of any infection.
Myth 3 - Decrease any Vaginal Odors
Do not Douche! Douching increases the odors in fact and can lead to infections on regular douching.
Feel "cleaner." The vagina actually cleans itself so vaginal douches are not necessary. Increased odors can result because of Yeast Infections and for which proper medical treatment should be taken.
Douching by Medicinal solutions should only be done under Doctors prescription and supervision and only with the Medicinal solution prescribed.
