Are there dangers to douching on a daily basis?
January 21, 2008
I have been douching daily while in my shower for about a year and love being clean and ready for anything! Are there any dangers using a shower douche hose on a daily basis?
Actually, yes. Chronic enema use can cause severe constipation. In severe cases, men can become so dependent on enemas that they cannot defecate without them.
Obviously this is not what you are intending to do. To give yourself that clean feeling without risking any long-term harm, you can do two things. First, make sure you are eating a high fiber diet. Besides being good for your prostate health, it also aids digestion and naturally makes your rectal area much cleaner. Beans, oats, barley, broccoli, and citrus fruits are loaded with it. Second, limit the amount of liquid you give yourself during an enema. The amount of liquid that you could shoot into yourself with a syringe is a much safer amount than a conventional enema. If you were giving yourself an enema once every few weeks, I would not tell you to worry about it. But since you're doing this daily, you need to take precautions above and beyond what most people do.
