Re: MenustrationFrom: Kristy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri May 31 12:01:46 2002
It is not a good idea to douche at all at any time unless a dr tells you to do so. The reason for not douching except when a dr tells you to is b/c one, the vagina is self cleaning on the inside, and two, by douching you put yourself more at risk for infection such as yeast. Also, when I used to get a smell from my periods (it is normal to have the blood smell some) I would just wash with soap and water. Even though I don't have a period now I still wash with soap and water. To be exact I use Physoderm for washing and it doesn't hurt my genital area at all. Also, if you are still having a smell in spite of doing this you need to be evaluated by a gyn to see if something else is going on that shouldn't be going on. And finally, if you all have questions about general gyn issues and want input from a dr pls go to the Women's Health Forum at: http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health. That forum is a free service also. ===== Kristy :) http://www.geocities.com/sokokl/kristyspersonalpage.html Hoping to be a nurse soon but for now just a Medical Secretary who does a lot of learning from reading on the Net, books, my dr(s), as well as sharing my own personal experiences.
