Will douching prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex?
No, douching does not prevent pregnancy [(it can upset the balance of your vagina too (http://bedsider.org/features/1636)). If you had sex within the last 5 days and didn’t use a method of birth control, you can get emergency contraception (EC) to help prevent pregnancy before it starts.
