By Kiana WilburgFor those not familiar with the term,Wholesale Jerseys From China, “douche or douching,” it refers to the process where a mixture of solutions, usually prepackaged, is inserted or squirted into the vagina. It is believed that the liquid is intended to cleanse that part of the anatomy, leaving behind a pleasant odour.A disposable doucheOn Friday last, this newspaper opted to interview several women around the city to find out their thoughts on to the topic at hand, and these are a few of their comments; “Douching is extremely safe and should be done at least twice a month”; “Every healthy woman should douche,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, it is a tradition passed down from the older generation of women in my family and so far I have never encountered vaginal issues since I’m douching”; “Douching is safe, I remember I had a slight itching with a discharge and I douched until it went away, now I only see that high-smelling odour after my menstrual cycle.”Considering the fact that the vagina is a “self-cleaning organ,” in light of the previous comments, the question that was of much concern was, “Is douching a safe health practice?Well, tradition or not, douching is not as safe as some may think. In fact,Cheap Jerseys, according to Dr. Yezmin Alvarado-Rivas, a gynecologist at the Eureka Medical Laboratory on 263 Thomas Street, Georgetown, “douching does more harm than good, if any at all.”Dr. Alvarado-Rivas explained that there is no need to douche. Douching, she said, actually affects the normal, delicate flora (micro-organisms living in the vagina) of the vagina.“In the vagina, there is good and bad bacteria and douching can seriously affect its normalcy. When that normal state is changed in any way,Wholesale Jerseys, with douching for example, bad bacteria can spread where they shouldn’t be and an overgrowth can be caused. Douching also rinses the vagina and removes good bacteria, which leaves the woman very susceptible to other infections.”She added, “Let’s say there is a case where the woman has an infection, when she uses the douche, she can spread the infection to other parts of her vagina like the fallopian tubes and the ovaries,Soccer Jerseys China, thus making the problem even worse.”Supporting her position was William A. Boyle, Microbiologist and Director of Eureka Medical Laboratory.Boyle said, “Douching gives a false sense that everything is fine as it leaves behind a pleasant odour. But it must not be misunderstood that because it covers up a bad odour, if one was previously detected, that it gets rid of an infection. If anything, douching only makes the problem worse.”In short, Boyle, Dr. Alvarado-Rivas and a medical practitioner at the Woodlands Hospital, Thomasine Aaron, have essentially objected to the use of douche.Notions such as, “douching cleans the vagina,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, gets rid of rank odours, prevents pregnancy, or removes fungal infections,” can once and for all be cradled into the “myth basket.”The gynecologists said that according to their medical records, apart from sexually transmitted diseases, fungal infections and in particular, Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is extremely prevalent among women in Guyana.Bacterial Vaginosis, she noted, is a vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. A woman’s vagina normally contains many different kinds of bacteria and when the natural balance of those bacteria is disturbed, some types die off while others multiply.While men don’t contract BV, Dr. Alvarado-Rivas noted that Bacterial Vaginosis brings with it a gray vaginal discharge accompanied by a foul-smelling odour, especially after sexual intercourse. There can also be swelling in the vaginal area and a burning sensation while urinating.The doctor made mention of this infection for the simple reason that most women conform to the notion that douching helps this condition. But guess what? Contrary to belief, douching actually plays a part in the development of this infection.To be absolutely certain that you have contracted an infection and to know what treatment is needed, medical practitioners of the Woodlands Hospital and the Eureka Medical Laboratory are strongly advocating that women avoid douching and see a doctor instead.
