How to avoid infection with tampons

Internal tampons have always been loved by professional women in some European and American countries, and are now gradually being accepted by more and more Chinese female friends. However, the pros and cons of using tampons have always been controversial. Some people worry that using tampons will cause infection by bacteria. So, will using tampons cause infection? Let's take a closer look.

Tampons are soft, absorb menstrual blood better than sanitary napkins, do not affect clothing, and are more convenient for movement and exercise. Therefore, they are widely popular among female friends. Tampons are placed directly in the vagina to absorb menstrual blood, but because they are inserted into the vagina, they form an enclosed space. If they are not replaced in time, the enclosed environment can easily cause normal bacteria in the vagina to grow rapidly, causing infection and inflammation. In addition, because tampons press on the vaginal wall, they can sometimes cause ulcers in the vaginal wall. Vaginal infection may cause varying degrees of abdominal pain, itching in the private parts, frequent urination, urgency, fever, headache, muscle aches, diarrhea, low blood pressure and other systemic symptoms; and the retrograde flow of menstruation may result in gynecological diseases such as endometriosis.

Intimate reminder:

1. When using tampons, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of your hands. Wash your hands and do not touch the catheter and tampon that enters the vagina to avoid bringing bacteria into the vagina.

2. Women who already have urinary tract infection or vaginal inflammation should not use tampons because it will aggravate the infection.

3. During menstruation, tampons should be changed every 2 to 3 hours to prevent vaginal infection in a humid and high temperature environment.

4. Although tampons are easy to use and good at absorbing menstrual blood, it is recommended that sanitary napkins are the best choice because they have better breathability.

Will using tampons cause infection? The above experts have made a detailed introduction to this issue. I believe that everyone should have some understanding and knowledge now. Generally speaking, using sanitary napkins will not cause infection. However, for some female friends who use internal tampons, they should pay special attention to their own health problems. If they find any dangerous signs related to their health, they should immediately stop using internal sanitary napkins.
