Is Vaginal Douching Harmful Or A Benefit?

An estimate of American women in the age group of 15 to 44 years says that they are into vaginal douche. The higher rates are seen among the African American women. The main reason for douching is to remove any unpleasant odor, reduce the chances of sexually transmitted diseases and reduces the chances of pregnancy after intercourse. But health experts point to the fact that douching is not effective for any of the above purposes. They feel that it can increase the chance of infections, pregnancy complications, along with other health problems.
