Talk to your doctor. I heard it is bad because it washes away good bacteria.

It seems that most people are against the douche. An imbalance of bacteria is usually the cause for unusual discharge/odour. I've heard that yogurt really helps with this. I read in a health magazine that a tampon dipped in plain yogurt and inserted overnight helps to correct this imbalance.

A women should only douche after a heavy flow of blood, after the period, I mean right after the flow stops, your blood cells, your skin tissue are still swollen, or enlarged, you have less damage to your skin cells at this time. If you douche any other time, your damaging cells an washing away your natural ability to fight infections. No douche is a good douche. If you have smell, use a deodorant made for that.

You shouldn't be douching at all. By douching you are getting rid of the good bacteria and leaving yourself open for infections and more yeast.

becare because douching washes away your natural bacteria. limit the douching. There's new product in walgreens for vaginal freshness called REPHRESH. It's pretty good.

A woman shouldn't douche, its bad for you. it will mess up the ph of your vagina, which then can cause infection, 'fishy' smell and will be more susceptible to disease.

no, a woman should not douche because it washes away natural fluids, it can make you more prone to vaginal infections and it can spread vaginal infections up in the uterus, fallopian tubes, and uterus.

Eat yogurt! Douching is bad for your vagina. If you smell bad after regular cleansing, that is something you need to speak you a gynecologist about.
