Do NOT put parsley or other vegetables in your vagina, doctors warn after 'irresponsible' article...

Doctors are warning women to not take the 'irresponsible' advice of putting parsley in their vagina to kick-start their period.

The bizarre suggestion was made by women's magazine Marie Claire alongside other recommendations using food, drink and exercise.

Women may want to make their period come sooner as a means of controlling their cycle ahead of a holiday or special event.

According to the article, parsley is an emmenagogue - a substance that increases menstrual flow - which can 'soften the cervix and level out hormonal imbalances'.

...

Marie Clare has now apologised for the article and taken it down because it is 'misguided'

Dr Sheila Newman, an obstetrician-gynaecologist from New Jersey, also spoke of her concern over the practice, which is not medically advised. She branded it 'irresponsible'.

She said: 'That is not something that is recommended by gynaecologists.

'There are only a few things that should go in your vagina and vegetables generally aren't one of them.'

:^) Even *that* could be a recipe for disaster...

BTW, I will refuse all dinner invitations from the author...

Maybe the Marie Claire editors were thinking about condoms when they read about condiments....

:Too bad the author's name were Herb...

Okay, so, maybe the blue ones aren't funny either...

Now that you bring up Seinfeld

‘She Said’:
“Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, ‘cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.”

Thanks to George Constanza....

Thanks BenLurkin. Y'know, if I posted any of the jokes that I have in mind right now, I'm pretty sure I'd be grounded for life, and not just on FR.

I think everyone is walking on egg shells here, trying to dance around the subject. 😁👍

My former boss who was an army captain in Vietnam said a nurse in their unit put a cucumber in her vagina. She was too embarrassed to ask help when she couldn’t retrieve it. The nurse died of septic shock.
