Hi,
Coconut oil is good but fully cleaning from front to back direction prevents i.e., germs of rectum should not go to urinary tract, it will prevent positive pap smear and sensitivity will actually tell about infections and particularly treatment required! Moreover immunity can cause to increase these general factors.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
