If it ain't broke, don't fix it – including your vagina. Subscribers to Khloe Kardashian's app (yes she has an app) received some unsolicited medical advice about their private parts from the reality star.

"No joke: Vitamin E may strengthen vaginal lining! Moisturize your labia and vagina with Vitamin E oil to combat dryness and soothe irritation," suggests Kardashian.

Bay Area OB/GYN Dr. Jennifer Gunter disagrees with one of the designers of the Kardashian (klothing) Kollection by telling The Daily Beast, "I would not recommend this nor is there any study that looks at this for healthy, premenopausal women."

Dr. Gunter explores a number of celebrity and fashion magazine theories on her popular blog, including the proper trimming of pubic hair and whether or not thongs are bad news for derrières (they are not).

Kardashian isn't alone in her enthusiasm for Vitamin E and its effectiveness for vaginal problems like dryness or yeast infections. The theory is a popular one on the internet, and may help women going through menopause. In fact, legitimate medical organizations like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center offer online instructions for just how to get that Vitamin E all over your vagina.

The local doctor, however, points out to that at 32-years old, Kardashian shouldn't be experiencing problems with vaginal dryness, nor should her target 18-34 year old demographic. Advises Gunter, "If you are 32 and have a dry vagina, see your doctor and try a silicone-based lube."
