Don’t Douche ? One Way to Prevent Vaginal Yeast Infections

Douching is the practice of cleaning the vagina with some type of solution, be it plain water, a homemade mixture such as water and vinegar, or a product bought in a store. But regardless of the liquid used, does douching ever make sense?

Some women believe that douching helps clean the vagina and can treat or prevent yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or other types of vaginal infections, but these are misconceptions, says Orli Etingin, MD, professor of clinical medicine and director of the Iris Cantor Women’s Health Center at NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. “Douching may [temporarily] enhance comfort or relieve vaginal itching or other symptoms, but it cannot treat the infection,” she explains.

Several professional groups, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Office on Women’s Health, agree with Dr. Etingin and specifically recommend that women do not douche for any reason.
