Doctor warns of the dangers of supposedly 'fresh' feminine hygiene products

A doctor has urged women not to feel pressured into using feminine hygiene products, remarking how such products aren't marketed toward men.

Dr Karan Rajan, who educates his 4.9 million TikTok followers on everything from heat stroke to gut health, says women don't need specific cleaning products to wash their genitals with.

As well as being unnecessary, such items can also be harmful, affecting bacterial balance and potentially resulting in "infections and all sorts of badness."
