To douche or not to douche, that is the question.

Douching ... Yay or nay? There is an estimated that roughly 20% to 40% of women from 15 years old to 44 years old that have said they use some form of douche. Some reasons given when asked are to make themselves feel fresher, to get rid of any unpleasant odor that may be present, washes away any left over menstrual blood after their period, to avoid the chances of getting STD's and a pregnancy prevention after sexual intercourse. Experts have been saying that douching is not an effective way to handle any of the reasons stated above. Experts actually tell women not to do it because it may actually bring on infections, complications during the pregnancy process and some more health issues.
