This study assessed the knowledge and usage patterns of vaginal douching in sexually active teenagers attending a family planning clinic. A questionnaire was administered consecutively to 94 black, 36 Hispanic, and 12 Anglo females ranging in age from 13 to 19 years. The survey showed that vaginal douching is a common practice, with almost two thirds learning about douching from their mother. The technique is primarily used for hygienic reasons with few using it to prevent pregnancy or infection. Age of first douche correlated with age of first intercourse (p less than 0.001). Almost 23% had douched within 2 days of the clinic visit, and 56% reported douching one or more times a week.
本研究评估了在一家计划生育诊所就诊的性活跃青少年中阴道灌洗的知识和使用模式。对94名黑人、36名西班牙裔和12名盎格鲁女性连续进行问卷调查，她们的年龄在13至19岁之间。调查显示，阴道灌洗是一种常见做法，近三分之二的人是从母亲那里了解到灌洗的。该技术主要用于卫生目的，很少有人用它来预防怀孕或感染。首次灌洗的年龄与首次性交的年龄相关（p小于0.001）。近23%的人在就诊诊所的2天内进行了灌洗，56%的人报告每周灌洗一次或多次。
