Abstract

SummarySummaryAn early specialist in this subject, the Persian physician Al-Razi who died about 924, wrote 'first, immediately after ejaculation, let the two come apart and let the woman arise roughly, sneeze and blow her nose several times, and call out in a loud voice. She should jump violently backwards seven to nine times' (Rinehart, 1976). Earlier still, the Egyptians in 1500 bc described a post-coital douche of wine and garlic with fennel, used in conjunction with pre-coital fumigation of the vagina. In some developing countries at the present time, Coca-Cola is in favour as a douche (Rinehart, 1976). With or without gymnastics, incantations or incense, douching may be unsuccessful; spermatozoa can reach the endocervix within 90 seconds of ejaculation (Sobrero and Macleod, 1962).
