after a hysterectomy??????

Just wonder I know this sounds strange but should you douch still even after you have a hysterctomy??????? I had my uterus and cervix removed. Just want to Know. Thanks..........

I had the same thing and my doc said no way not till he released me.

My doctor discourages douching. For "extra freshness" he recommends sitz baths. He told me to put some baking soda in the water before I take my bath. Then just splash the solution against the exterior genital region.

I would ask your doctor that question. I wouldn't but that's just me.

Both my Drs. (GP and OB/GYN) discourage douching unless medically necessary. They say just "freshening/cleaning" douches does more harm than good. Douching changes the PH Balance of the vagina increasing the risk of yeast infection.

The gyn's I have seen in my life all discourage against douching.

I use Summers Eve feminine wash----(outside area)

Same here...douching is discouraged.

Always check with your doctor when in doubt.

Take care!

I asked my Dr what to do for extra freshness and he sai no to douching unless it was just with warm water. No chemicals.

Thanks everyone for your advise it really helps. Flag
