Is Yogurt Douching really the answer?

No, do not douche with yogurt. Actually, yogurt does not contain the proper strains of acidophilus needed to support vaginal health. While yogurt is good for you, it won't do anything for you down there. If you are looking for a product that is helpful, you could look into purchasing Femdophilus. You can go onto Jarrow Formulas website and they have lots of information about the research they did about this.

Is Yogurt Douching really the answer?

Hey All,

I am doing a medical research in regards to vaginal health. I was researching about common vaginal infections, and smells, and I came across of douching with yogurt. Now I eat yogurt almost every day just to maintain my digestion and vaginal health, but is it really better to actually...

Douching is bad because it messed up the chemicals in the vagina. Even douching with store bought stuff is bad because it messed up the vagina's natural balance. You can use yogurt to treat a yeast infection, or their is evidence to suggest it could help a yeast infection by EATING it. But no, do not douche.

Kefir contains several major strains of friendly bacteria not commonly found in yogurt, Lactobacillus Caucasus, Leuconostoc, Acetobacter species, and Streptococcus species. So, you can definitely mixed them both together. The effectiveness of douching with yogurt or kefir or both are still questionable. However, there is really no harm in trying to do that. Also, try to avoid using yogurt product that contain high content of sugar as it increases your risk for vaginal infection. I hope that helps. :)

LOL...well...it isn't a thing you should do every day however, douching with plain unflavored yogurt has been proven to cure vaginal problems such as yeast infections. I believe it is more of a remedy instead of maintenance.

After reading an article I researched, I'm against douching completely.

Hope this information helps you out on your own research!

i have never heard of douching with yogurt

in fact everything i have read suggest that douching in unhealthy and decreases the normal bacteria found in the vagina

i have heard about this as a treatment for yeast infections...not really "douching" but placing some inside with fingers... i know it has to be plain yogurt without added sugar.

douching of any sort is never good. it can spread infections internally.
