What is the correct way to douche vaginally?
Question:
Answers:
Sitting on the commode is much less messy. Things flow in, things flow out, flush, end of story. Nothing to clean up.
Don't. I tried it 3 times, every time I ended up with a friggin yeast infection. Your body has it;s own way of cleansing itself internally down there, have you ever even read some of the warnings on that stuff? It screws up the balance in your system.
You lie down in the tub and to douche. Be sure thoroughly disinfect your douche bag and nozzle after each use. Also check with your doctor as to how long he wants you to keep douching weekly as this is not something that should normally be done routinely.
Do you have an infection.? Normally a doctor would absolutely never recommend douching, except for medicated douches, as it strips the vagina of all bacteria, bad AND good, leaving you open to infections. If there is nothing wrong with you and your doctor suggested this, I would get a second opinion and refrain from douching in the meantime.
I'm surprised usually doctors advise against douching. It can push bacteria further up in your vagina and disturb the Ph causing infections.
in the shower try not to let your lips close either not trying to be gross but i found that if i kept my lips spread i had the flow out of the vagina was better and was cleaned better hope this helps
actually none of the above although any will work, place a towel in the bottom of the tub draw your knees up and spread your legs insert douche tip in as far as possible with your other hand firm your vaginal lips around the douche tip squeeze douche and empty contents into vagina and hold lips closed so as to retain fluid in vagina for a couple of minutes, let drain, vinegar douches are to restore vaginal ph to proper level if you are treating yeast get plain yogurt with live active lactobacillus culters cover tampon generously and insert into vagina leave in about an hour will help to restore healthy bacteria to vagina, also consume a little plain yogurt daily, to mix vinegar 3 tablespoons 5% white acidic to 1 quart water, it is not recommended to douche more than 3 times a month unless directed to do so by your physician!
The correct way is not to do it. No doctor with any sense would recommend that, it disrupts your natural chemical balance. You don't need it for cleansing, your body does that naturally on its own. I used to do it in college all the time, and I had yeast infections about twice a month. When I quit douching, the infections magically went away.
