Nope, quite the contrary! When douching you change the flora of the vagina which makes it easier to get infections. The vagina is self cleaning and should never be washed.

Can you douch while on your period will it stop?

You should never douche, it is bad for vaginal hygiene and health. Your vagina is self-cleaning, discharge flushes out dead cells and an acidic pH maintains healthy bacterial balance - douching effects vaginal pH, washes away lubrication needed to protect vaginal tissues, and can force harmful bacteria further into the vagina. Douching can increase risks of vaginal infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, TSS, and STD's. Douching will not stop menstruation. Menstruation is when the uterus lining is shed, it is controlled by hormones throughout your menstrual cycle. Douching cleans-out the vaginal canal so has zero effect on your uterus and no effect on your menstrual cycle.
