Can douching result in reduced fertility or infertility?

Sorry to hear about your previous history of ectopic pregnancies. This has some relevance since the conditions that lead to an increased risk for ectopic pregnancy are likely to affect both tubes in the pelvis, rather than just one side (since both tubes are connected to the uterus within the pelvis). Some of these conditions include infection, inflammation due to endometriosis, or could be related to surgery. Surgery to correct the blockage has been available for many years. This consists of microsurgery which can be performed through keyhole or laparoscopic surgery.

Hi, Douching can disrupt the pH and balance of bacteria in the vagina. This leads to a change in the composition of the bacteria that is usually found within the vagina. This in turn, could increase the risk of vaginal infections such as yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. Besides that, it can also cause the spread of harmful bacteria, already present in the vagina, further up into the uterus. In reference to its impact on fertility, there are some studies that have shown that women who douche regularly take a longer time to become pregnant than women who do not douche.
