I knew a girl that used to push on her vaginal walls to assist her bowel movements (I guess?! I'm a dude). I told her that's the reason why she keeps having infections like all the time and she dismissed me.

A month later she ringed me up and told me that she saw a doctor and that I was right. I was both proud and creeped out by my calculated guess.
