Is it true dipping a tampon in yogurt and inserting it overnight corrects the pH/bacteria level?

It is not recommended to wash your part with soap, use just plenty water.



After menstruation, vaginal mucus returns to its thicker, characteristically non-fertile state, which makes it more difficult for pathogens to enter and infect the vagina. Douching could wash this protective coating away and invite vaginal bacterial imbalances and infections.

Bacterial vaginosis, or an excess of harmful bacteria in the vagina, is one of the most common reasons women visit their gynecologist. Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include a gray or frothy vaginal discharge, a fishy odor after intercourse, vaginal itching and a vaginal pH greater than 4.5.



While douching can provoke bacterial vaginosis, it may also encourage the herpes virus.
