Author: Udoma EJ; Umoh MS; Udosen EO Source: International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics. 1999 Sep;66(3):299-300. Abstract: This report delineates an incident of coital injury following douching of vagina with aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate (potassium alum), which is believed to promote greater sexual stimulation of the husband during sexual intercourse. A 28-year-old woman was admitted to the gynecological ward complaining of vaginal pain, bleeding, and passage of fecal matter through the vagina after douching it with potassium alum prior to coitus. Vaginal examination showed a lot of fecal matter with a septic edematous wound 2.5 cm at the fourchette, a fistula about 5 cm in length. Treatment included daily perineal toileting, a low residue diet, antibiotics, and advice against vaginal douching with potassium alum.
