How to say "douche" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 圧注あっちゅうnoun, suru verbA clinical term for douching — washing out a body cavity by forcing liquid in under pressure. You will meet it in medical contexts rather than everyday speech.
- 注水ちゅうすいnoun, suru verb, intransitive verbIt chiefly means pouring water into something or flooding it; the 'douche' sense is marginal, since it names the act of adding water, not a cleansing procedure — seldom the word you want.
- 灌注かんちゅうnoun, suru verbA medical term for irrigation and lavage — flushing a body cavity with a stream of liquid. Use it when 'douche' refers to that clinical washing procedure; it is the natural choice of the three.
All three are less common: 灌注 is the medical irrigation/lavage word, 圧注 the clinical term for douching under pressure, while 注水 chiefly means pouring or flooding water and only marginally 'douche'.
