douche

[do̳sh] a stream of water or air directed against a part of the body or into a cavity.air douche a current of air blown into a cavity, particularly into the tympanum to open the eustachian tube.vaginal douche irrigation of the vagina to cleanse the area, to apply medicated solutions to the vaginal mucosa and the cervix, or to apply heat in order to relieve pain, inflammation, and congestion. For the treatment to be effective the patient must be in the dorsal recumbent position with the hips level with the chest. Excessive pressure in administering the douche should be avoided so that solution is not forced through the cervix into the endometrial cavity.

vaginal douche

Gentle, low-pressure irrigation of the vagina. Common protocols for antiseptic irrigations require preparing and administering 1000 to 2000 ml of 105°F (40.5°C) povidone-iodine solution while maintaining standard precautions. For hemostasis, solution temperature is increased to 118°F or 120°F (47.8° to 48.9°C). The container should be elevated up to 2 ft (61 cm) above the woman's pelvis to allow slow, low-pressure flow of the solution.

Note

The vagina, like many other areas of the body, can cleanse itself. Thus there is very little reason for a normal, healthy woman to use a vaginal douche. Douching can upset the balance of the vaginal flora and change the vaginal pH, thus predisposing the woman to vaginitis. There is no evidence that a postcoital vaginal douche is effective as a contraceptive.

In at least one investigation, vaginal douching has been shown to be a risk factor for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The more frequently the subjects douched, the more likely they were to have PID.
