Are tampons safe?

Menstruation, commonly known as period, is a good friend of all women. Healthy female friends will visit every good friend very punctually. When menstruation comes, sanitary napkins are indispensable. Sanitary napkins are generally divided into two types: one is sanitary napkins, and the other is tampons, which are popular nowadays. Since tampons are relatively small and can be placed inside the vagina to absorb menstrual blood, many female friends prefer tampons. So, are tampons safe?

You cannot use tampons to prevent menstruation if you miss your period

Some women use tampons to prevent menstruation a few days before it comes, which is wrong. Because the vagina will be dry at this time, inserting a tampon can easily cause friction damage to the vagina and make it prone to bacterial infection. The correct way is to use sanitary pads instead of tampons, and only use tampons when your period actually comes.

Tampons should not be left unchanged for a long time

If tampons are left in the vagina for too long, it is easy for bacteria to grow and infect the vagina, leading to vaginal diseases such as vaginitis. It is best to change tampons within every 2 hours.

It is not advisable to use tampons for heavy menstrual flow

It is not appropriate to use tampons when the menstrual flow is heavy, because the tampon soaked with menstrual blood will block the vagina, causing the menstrual blood to not flow out smoothly, and easily flow back into the uterine cavity, causing poisoning in the body. Moreover, women who have blood clots are not suitable for using tampons. Tampons can only absorb menstrual blood but not blood clots, and tampons block the vagina, causing blood clots to be unable to be eliminated.

The vagina is an important part that women need to take special care of. Improper use of tampons can easily lead to vaginal bacterial infection, thereby increasing the incidence of some vaginal diseases. Therefore, women should be cautious when choosing tampons. Although tampons are convenient and small, they are very easy to be infected with diseases if used improperly.
