Douching should be discouraged among adolescent girls and young women because it has been shown to be associated with several serious health conditions (bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and infertility).
The vagina is self-cleaning, experts says, and douching is medically warranted in only a few, rare instances such as after radiation therapy or endometrial or cervical cancer episiotomy.

Well I never knew that! Obviously the vagina is self-cleaning, but the fact that douching can lead to other problems is surprising.
