Should I douche after sex?
You may think you are protecting yourself from pregnancy and STIs when you douche after sex. But that’s not true. Not only does douching after sex NOT protect you from pregnancy and STIs, it can also actually be harmful for your body.
Building a support system starts with identifying those you trust and feel comfortable confiding in. This might include close family members, friends, or trusted healthcare professionals. It’s important to communicate openly with them about your needs and feelings, and to maintain these relationships by offering support in return when you can. Alcove Health is committed to joining your support network, providing ongoing support and resources tailored to your unique situation.
