WARNING: Regularly Doing THIS in The Shower Could Double Your Risk of Cancer

Douching is a popular vagina cleaning method, but did you know that it can double the risk of ovarian cancer? According to latest research, douching is harmful and one of the main factors of numerous vaginal problems.

Douching is a method which includes squirting water or fluids into the vagina. Doctors are not recommending it as it disrupts the natural balance of bacteria and causes infections. According to a poll by Express.co.uk, 29% of women admitted to regularly douching, while 57% said they never done it. 14% of the women polled admit to doing it once or twice.

However, doctors say that the vagina has a safe-cleaning mechanism. Some earlier studies have linked couching to several problems such as reduced fertility, yeast infections, pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy, and a study done by the National Institute of Environmental Sciences has finally linked the method to ovarian cancer.
Joelle Brown, a professor of epidemiology at the University of California, says that she was shocked by the results. “While most doctors and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists strongly recommend that women do not douche, many women continue to douche because they falsely perceive douching to have positive health benefits, such as increased cleanliness.” She advises women to avoid douching and clean the vagina with water only.

Ovarian cancer is a “silent killer” because it doesn’t show any symptoms until the later stages. About 7300 women are diagnosed with it, with only 35% surviving it. About 20 000 women in the USA are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year, with 14 500 dying from the disease.

A new study has recently been examining 41 000 women in the USA and Puerto Rico since 2003. The women were aged 35-74 and had a sister diagnosed with breast cancer. When they entered the study, the subjects were not suffering from cancer. The results showed that until 2014, there were 154 cases of ovarian cancer among the subjects. Subjects who were douching a year before the study doubled the risk of ovarian cancer, which only strengthened the link between the method and the disease.
