What Harm Does Vinegar Once In A While Cause?

My nurse practicioner does not agree with douching, however if the ph remains at 4 or 5, what harm is a vinegar once in a while, what's the harm? I have had bacterial and yeast infections off and on this past year..and was treated. I always think there is a slight odor inside the vaginal area. I have very active sex life with one man. Help!

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should not take the vinegar.

Vinegar is not the treatment at any point in vaginal infection.

I suggest you to do Gram's staining, culture and sensitivity for the vaginal infection.

Taking the treatment as per the report not only is cost effective but it is also less harmful and give you prompt relief from your problem.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
