8. Over-Douching
Vaginal wipes, douche kits and other products are available to help clean the vagina. There is a limit to how much you can clean the vagina. Most people feel the need to do this, but it is not necessary.
Too much use of a douche product can cause the pH to be thrown out and increase your risk for conditions such as a yeast or bacterial infection. Not due to a lack of hygiene but rather from using too much.
When you are unsure whether you have a bacterial infection, yeast infection, or another vaginal problem, you should refrain from using douche products. Also, when you do resume their use, you shouldn’t use it too often.
