Why do doctors tell women not to douche? Women have been douching for thousands of years, in fact before modern medicine, Women used to cure infections in that area with douching. Now they tell people not to douche because it may disrupt Flora, as an experiment I tried not washing my skin for a month and got numerous staph infections. There is Flora on our skin, so I don't think there theory Is correct. Although they claim the vagina is self-cleaning, They also claim the ear and eye is self-cleaning, however it is only self-cleaning to an extent, and it should be cleaned at least periodically inside. For example, if a man were to ejaculate into the vagina without a condom in my opinion it should be douched out with plain water. This also used used to be recommended in the olden days, because the sperm (which is a living thing) that does not leak out will basically rot in there.
