Two years after my second girl was born, I was having some kind of problem so I decided to use this feminine wash called….. I used it for about two weeks and I think it was helping but the problem Is It’s heading to a year now and I realized that I cannot get pregnant even after making sure it is my most fertile days. Could the #douching the cause of my infertility?
From my search : “Douching may reduce a woman’s chance of getting pregnant in a particular month by about 30 percent, according to a new study.
The study, published in the June issue of the American Journal of Public Health, showed that douching-practiced by many women to cleanse and deodorize the vaginal cavity — is associated with a delay in pregnancy.”
It’s Important to know that the vagina is self cleansing. The secretions there are protective and the normal bacteria in your vagina is also protective.
There is no need to put any substance into your vagina to clean or tighten it
It’s ok to wash your vulva with clean water, that’s the outer portion but the vagina does not need washing.
Apart from reducing your fertility there are also infections that you could get as a result of douching.
Strict personal hygiene, good nutrition and exercise will help you stay healthy.
Incase of an infection see a doctor for the best treatment
What is Douching The word “douche” means to wash or soak. Douching is washing or cleaning out the inside of the vagina with water or other mixtures of fluids. Most douches are sold in stores as prepackaged mixes of water and vinegar, baking soda, or iodine. The mixtures usually come in a bottle or bag.( Source : Google)
