Douching Of The Vagina Is Wrong And Makes Sex Tiring – Gynecologist Warns

 

Dr Prosper Igboeli, an Abuja based gynecologist  on Monday advised women not to douche as it could lead to vagina dryness(which makes sexing annoying) and could also kills “the good bacteria in the vagina area”.
Igboeli, who is the Managing Director of M and M Hospital, Fertility and IVF Centre said in Abuja that the vagina had a unique smell and it was not something that should be cleaned off.
“Douching refers to the rinsing of any body cavity but usually applies to vagina irrigation or rinsing of the vagina.
“vagina douches may consist of water mixed with vinegar, or even antiseptic chemicals, vagina has a
unique smell and it is not something that should be cleaned off.”
He said commercial douches have alcohol and that the alcohol were substances that dried the skin, noting that when done often would end up with a dry itchy vagina.
Igboeli said the vagina was mainly acidic, saying that douching clears off the natural solutions that kept it acidic.
“Imbalance in the vagina  area will lead to a lot of complications like dryness, infections, womanly inflammations and pain on the skin.”
He said the vagina was not a stereo environment that by its exposures to air acquired self cleaning.
Igboeli said much antibiotic would kill off the bacterial that were supposed to stabilise the floral of the vagina causing yeast infection.
“The antibiotic may go and kill off the bacterial that suppose to stabilise the floral of the vagina then there would be any over growth of yeast.”
Dryitchyvagina.com says recently, vagina douching has been associated with many health risks in women.
It added that the aim of this study was to analyse the effect of commercial douche products against various vagina microorganisms, including lactobacill.
Four antiseptic-containing douche products showed a strong inhibitory effect against all vagina microorganisms tested with a short contact time (less than 1 min).
Three vinegar-containing douche products selectively inhibited vagina pathogens associated with bacterial vaginosis, group B streptococcal vaginitis, and candidiasis, but not lactobacilli.
The antimicrobial effects of the commercial douche products varied among different brands and microbial species tested. (NAN)
