Frequent Douching
Many women believe the natural smell of their vaginal area is unpleasant and use frequent douching as a way to reduce this odor. Others worry about smells developing and use douching as a preventative. But most vaginal areas have a mild-to-moderate smell to them that is natural.
Douching is generally unhealthy for the vagina. It reduces the number of bacteria naturally found in the vagina and alters the normal pH balance. Once pH is unbalanced, it can lead to a range of issues.
