According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health, this information is wrong and can even lead to serious health issues.

What is douching?

The word "douche" means to wash or soak in French. Douching is washing or cleaning out the vagina (also called the birth canal) with water or other mixtures of fluids. Usually douches are prepackaged mixes of water and vinegar, baking soda, or iodine. Women can buy these products at drug and grocery stores. The mixtures usually come in a bottle and can be squirted into the vagina through a tube or nozzle.

Why do women douche?

Women douche because they mistakenly believe it gives many benefits. In reality, douching may do more harm than good. Common reasons women give for using douches include:

* to clean the vagina
* to rinse away blood after monthly periods
* to get rid of odors from the vagina
* to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
* to prevent pregnancy

How common is douching?

Douching is common among women in the United States. It is estimated that 20 to 40 percent of American women aged 15 to 44 years douche regularly. About half of these women douche every week.

Is douching safe?

Most doctors and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) suggest that women steer clear of douching. All healthy vaginas contain some bacteria and other organisms called the vaginal flora. The normal acidity of the vagina keeps the amount of bacteria down. But douching can change this delicate balance. This may make a woman more prone to vaginal infections. Plus, douching can spread existing vaginal infections up into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

What are the dangers linked to douching?

Research shows that women who douche regularly have more health problems than women who do not. Doctors are still unsure whether douching causes these problems. Douching may simply be more common

First of all dummy the video chick never said ANYTHING about douches. Please do your research before commenting. If you google Lactobacillus acidophilus you will see that L acidophilus is what is found in Natural yogurt therefore if you douche with it you are adding what is suppose to naturally be found in your vagina and, in your colon. L acidophilus KILLS bad bacteria that causes yeast infections as well as BV in women therefore it is 100 PERCENT SAFE TO DOUCHE OR INSERT IN THE VAGINA AS A NATURAL TREATMENT TO CURE BAD ODORS AND INFECTIONS!! Your ignorance to this fact and your clueless comments can stop lots of woman from learning about this simple teatment. Please do your research or at least talk to a OBGYN before making comments on topics you no nothing about. I AM A OBGYN SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE INFO IS COMPLETLY CORRECT!! Please do everyone a favor and delete your stupid baseless comment. It is fully safe to douche with yogurt! GOOD DAY!

Yea- all that information was incorrect. You are obviously not a doctor of any sort because the way you present your self is... something like a Hoe. Please stop trying to sound intelligent because you couldn't even pronounce half those words right. I am a pre-med student and I am upset because I am busting my ass in school while tricks out here are trying to do my job with no educational backround. GET IT TOGETHER!

You forgot the "h" in yeah, you capitalized the H in hoe, so you must be typing about the village in England, looks like pre-med is going to be "pre" longer than you want. Did This really come up in a search for "Get my doctorate?"

Dummys you need to do your research before commenting. This is not a douche with harmful chemicals. This is just using yogurt to get rid of bad bacteria. Please research Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is found in yogurt. If you were a doctor you would know this. This treatment is 100 PERCENT SAFE YOU FOOLS!

Babe Gurl, You are really off on this one. Douching with vinager is very harmful for the natural baterial flora in the vagina. You would be washing out good bacteria that NEEDS to be in there. The only good douche is the douche with yogurt becuase, it will actually add GOOD bacteria to KILL bacteria therfore it does not wash out anything that needs to be in there.

You are jumping to conclusions on this video and implying things.
1. The lady did NOT say that she douches nor did she say that she HAD to insert yogurt once a week in regards to healing a infection.
2. It is safe to clean the external areas of the vagina with mild soap and it does not remove any of your good bacteria flora.
Finally please pay attention to the video..the lady is just stating that the yogurt will keep your vag-jaja smelling fresh by inserting yogurt. Yes it can cure yeast infections and BV but, it is always a good idea to just maintain your good PH balance. There is nothing wrong with that.

Hello captive,
You are jumping to conclusions and implying things.
1. The lady never said anything about douching. The only thing that she has said is to clean the external area with fem wash which does not remove any of your good bacteria flora.
2. It is safe to insert yogurt just to maintain your good PH balance.
3. You need to pay attention to the video before running off at the mouth making clueless comments and implying things.
4. Also she does not say that she is using the yogurt to "cure" a infection she states that she is doing it to keep her vag smelling fresh. The yogurt can be used safely to cure yeast and BV just ask any OBGYN.
5. Stop jumping to conclusions and just keep up with the true message in the video.
6. You do need to wash the external areas of your vagina in order to wash away bad bacteria that causes odors.

Girlfriend...good job sharing info. I'll just help with the pronunciation: Lactobacillus (lacto-buh-sil-us), Acidophilus (A-ceed-o-fil-us), BV = bacterial vagiNOSIS. I hope this helps. Yes...your vagina should be neutral...However, at the end of the day usually everybody smells...take a shower. Tweaking your recommendation: I wouldn't recommend the YOGURT INSIDE your vagina unless you KNOW it's a yeast infection (regular problem). Eating yogurt regularly is enough. You may delay proper care and make your situation worse if you don't go to a physician right away when you have an abnormal odor. The best thing: KNOW YOUR BODY! When there's a change...it's time to respond. Thank you for getting the wrod out there!

Dyiva, I think you are just typing to the wall. "Floridapie" never responds on here. She has already addressed the fact that she mispronounced the words on the actual video hosted on "youtube". By the way...at the end of the day I do not stink or smell because I wear cotton panties so, it is possible to avoid the funk as long as you wear proper clothing as well as practice good hygeine. I also do not like the taste of yogurt so, I prefer inserting it every once in a while. And I have had no problems so far but, to each his own.

Hello Dyiva, PLEASE ONLY SPEAK FOR YOURSELF..YOU CAN NOT SPEAK FOR EVERY WOMAN IN THIS WORLD. Sweety your comment "However, at the end of the day usually everybody smells...take a shower" is you trying to speak for "everybody". First of all I can stay "fresh" all day and, do not "smell" at the end of the day. What you should have said was that "YOU usually smell at the end of the day" NOT "EVERYBODY". I hate when people try to speak for everyone when you have no idea what "EVERYBODY" smells like at the end of the day...geez!

i've read on webmd and other sites that using yogurt on the vagina while having a yeast infection will not cure it but it's good method of prevention

I am new here and I am not aware of the age group of this community but I am a little repelled by the reactions to simple comments and I am not trying to argue facts. Without giving away my credentials. I am qualified to say: everyone has sweat glands! sweating is normal. This is what I mean by odor...not a direct vaginal odor (I should have been more clear in this fact). If you have hair follicles (some women shave which helps to reduce odor but follicles still exist) again, there ARE sweat glands. It is a physiological fact. [There are life threatening RARE disorders anhidrosis/hypohidrosis where there are no sweat glands or minimal]. So, I repeat EVERY person in the world at the end of the day has a resulting sweat. It may not be offending to others or yourself but it is there. As you age this topic may become more challenging. I was not trying to debate the issue. You are right Wanda..fresh is a state of mind! Good personal daily hygiene is what everyone should strive for. I was quite impressed that this discussion was taking place since I come into contact with so many women who have NOT been exposed to these discussions. Continue discussing!!!

Also the correction was not just for the benefit of the person in the video only. But those who may NOT be aware.

Thanks for the clarity about your comment..but also another thing that I would like to mention is that the lady in the video did state that if someone does have a strange odor the person should go to the doctor. No one should be in the business of trying to be their own doctor unless they know for sure that they have yeast or BV. Anyway yeah this is a interesting discussion.

NO WOMAN SHOULD SMELL...IF YOU DO GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!

everyone on heres seems to be complaining about different trivial issues. at the end of the day what she is suggesting is not healthy, the vagina secretes its own fluid in order to maintain proper lubrication and ph. what is demonstated in this video is that its okay to douche(for those complaining YES SHE DOES STATE THAT!)...which its not! the reason why she has to do it every week is because she washes away good bacteria and then has to replace it with Lactobacillus acidophilus which is a bacteria found in the vagina. Yes it can and does work but its not without it setbacks. if your having to do it regulary you have solved NOTHING!!! visiting your doctor is a must.

However, they will probably precribe an antibiotic treatment which can make a larger impact on your sexual health in the future. i.e: it helps the bad bacteria to florish easily so their is a very high rate of recurrence. however, over the counter treatments such as balance activ can provide the same results. all in all its about prevention. sex with condoms, airy cotton breifs and do not wash or rub your vagina (this does not apply to every woman! some can without irritation but thats what ur vaginas for...

Naturally it cleans it self- Let it do its job.

I have watched the video this lady does not say one word about douching. What you need to do is do your research. L Acidophilus is what is found NATRUALLY in the vagina. From what I gather in the video she is just "maintaning" the good PH balance. The wash that she is using is a EXTERNAL Fem wash NOT A DOUCHE. Also if you use a antibotic then you ARE KILLING ALL OF YOUR BATERIA..GOOD AND BAD. So I would never recommend that someone uses antibotics to cure yeast or BV. Please go back and rewatch the video because the lady says NOTHING about using a douche. Every woman should get into the habit of eating yogurt with L Acidophilus just to maintain the good bacteria levels. Just because the lady does it once a week is most likly the same as just eating the damned yogurt everday to maintain the good PH balance. I don't get what you mean by do not "wash or rub your vagina". Your vagina is not that delicate that it is going to tear and break just by "washing it". If your sexually active your vagina takes a beating by a man and it does not tear nor break so, your comment makes no damned sense. Also the lineing of the uterus cleans itself but the outer lips of the vagina DOES not clean itself.

Lots of 100% correct info in the video (3 main reasons, good/bad bacteria, smell is not normal, etc.)!!! Good job. And I think it's good to give a quick overview of hygiene. However, I'm disappointed by the slight tone change in the middle of the video (the disgusted exasperation). All the personal stories I've seen on women's health sites and medical journal sites on this topic reveal that some women can scrub themselves raw and use Lactobacillus and STILL have ongoing problems. Some women report finding relief with other remedies (such as hydrogen peroxide and/or folic acid). I'm glad that this videographer was willing to address this sensitive topic in a serious and straightforward way (and with great information!). I just wish that firstly the grossed-out and shocked attitude was removed; secondly that it was mentioned that this problem is actually very common; and thirdly that if their doctor's treatment (or the Lactobacillus) doesn't work, it's not necessarily because they've got bad hygiene, so they should keep trying other (safe) treatments. Oh yeah, mentioning that this condition has been linked to more serious heath problems (not just embarrassment) if left untreated would be good, too.
