Doctors discourage douching because it can lead to serious infections. If good bacteria like Lactobacilli are washed out of the vagina as a result of douching, bad bacteria can multiply uncontrolled. That leaves you open to infections such as bacterial vaginosis, which is associated with a serious condition known as pelvic inflammatory disease. The symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include vaginal itching, excessive discharge, and a fishy odor.

Not advisable. You need a certain amount of acidity to maintain a good pH balance or you can actually get a yeast infection .Just like taking a strong antibiotic can give you a yeast infection .By killing off to much bacteria .

Its actually not safe to douche at all! It clears out all of the good bacteria from your system and makes you prone to yeast infections so much easier! Do not douche....I don't care what people tell you, it is NOT SAFE!!! Put the box down and slowly step away!

No it is not safe to douche daily. Your vagina has bacteria to maintain a healthy environment in there. Douching destroys all of the healthy bacteria, and it is actually not recommended at all.

No, not that much.. You are throwing all your PH levels out of whack. Dr. Oz says your vag area is like a self cleaning oven. You don't need to douche.

It's not healthy to douche this often. I can see maybe once a month right after your period, but other than that, it's just not something that has to be done at all.

No and if you go to a girl doctor she will advise you not to douche because all it really does is push the bacteria up into you.

Actually it's better to never do that. Your body takes care of itself naturally. As Dr. Oz say's, "you have self cleaning oven".

No, maybe once a week. Daily would wash away the good things that keep you healthy.
