Is it okay to use tampons during menstruation?

Normally, women will have their period every month. This is also the most troublesome thing for women. It not only affects their normal work and life, but sometimes makes women upset. Women usually use sanitary napkins when they have their period. This is also the practice of many women. Some women will ask, is it okay to use tampons during menstruation? Let's take a look below.

Because tampons are in close contact with vaginal epithelial cells, the body's resistance may be reduced. If the replacement interval is too long, the endometrium may dry out due to the absorption of the tampon, causing a type of Staphylococcus aureus in the vagina to enter the blood circulation system, causing symptoms such as sore throat, fever, joint and muscle pain, low blood pressure, and even shock in severe cases.

In addition, tampons are so absorbent that users may think they do not need to be changed frequently, which increases the chance of infection. The way to improve this is that users should pay attention to their usage and change tampons frequently. It is best to use tampons and sanitary napkins alternately.

Moreover, tampons are not suitable for girls who have no sexual experience and whose hymen is still intact. In addition, because tampons press on the vaginal wall, they can sometimes cause ulcers in the vaginal wall. There will be no infection if tampons are used correctly. Therefore, make sure that the tampons are not contaminated. Wash your hands before and after using tampons. Contaminated tampons cannot be used again. Change them every 4-8 hours.

Through the above introduction, we know that it is best for women not to use tampons when they are menstruating. This is not only because tampons are complicated to use, but also because tampons can cause damage to the skin of the genitals. We should also pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, not eating raw or cold food, and especially not drinking alcohol to prevent harm to the body.
