Douching is a bad idea whether you’re trying to get pregnant or not. Researchers found that women who douched regularly had an incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) of 13 percent compared to 6 percent for the women who did not douche. PID can cause damage to the fallopian tubes and uterus. The ectopic pregnancy rate is higher in women who douche regularly. One interesting study compared women who douched to those who did not, and after one year of observation, there was no increase in PID in the group who douched. There was, however, a 15 percent decrease in fertility, and for those who douched frequently, fertility decreased by 33 percent. Dump the douche!
