The aim of this study was to describe vaginal douching practices among women of reproductive age in Turkey, and to examine the association between this practice and adverse reproductive health consequences. Of the 524 participants, 58% reported vaginal douching at some time in their lives. The practice is primarily used for hygienic reasons and a majority used water alone and homemade solution. Using a multivariate model, only age (P = 0.05) and intrauterine device usage (P = 0.02) were associated with vaginal douching.
本研究的目的是描述土耳其育龄妇女的阴道灌洗行为，并探讨这种行为与不良生殖健康后果之间的关联。在524名参与者中，58%报告在其生命中的某个时候进行过阴道灌洗。这种行为主要是出于卫生原因，大多数人仅使用水和自制溶液。使用多变量模型，只有年龄（P = 0.05）和宫内节育器的使用（P = 0.02）与阴道灌洗有关。
