Tampons are a type of sanitary product used by women during menstruation. They have the same effect as sanitary napkins, but the two products are completely different. Not only are the methods of use different, but the situations after use are also different. We must pay attention to the correct method when using them. Many female friends also use them in their daily lives. So, can tampons be used after giving birth? Let’s take a look at it together. Whether it is a caesarean section or a vaginal delivery, it is recommended not to use tampons within 6 weeks after delivery to avoid blocking the discharge of postpartum tissue and causing infection. Generally speaking, using tampons (or sanitary plugs) seems to be a natural monthly "routine", but gynecologists point out that if used improperly, it will increase the risk of bacterial infection. Let's take a look at some of the prohibited areas for using tampons: 1. Use tampons before your period starts Reason for danger: If the vagina is dry, inserting a tampon may cause slight abrasions, which may give bacteria an opportunity to invade. Safety measures: Use sanitary pads as a precaution and switch to tampons when menstruation really comes. 2. The tampon is not replaced after more than 8 hours. Why it’s dangerous: Over time, bacteria begin to grow and release toxins. Safety measures: Change it every 4-6 hours. If the amount is large at night, change it in time the next morning. 3. When there is a lot of secretion Dangerous reasons: If abnormal secretions (especially those with a foul odor) are blocked, the situation will be made worse. Safety measures: Tell your gynecologist immediately. If the infection is confirmed, stop using tampons. 4. Having sex while using a tampon Danger: The tampon will penetrate deeper into the body, allowing bacteria to grow and cause serious infection. Safety measures: It should be removed immediately. If it is forgotten and cannot be pulled out, seek help from a gynecologist. Through the above introduction, we now know that tampons can be used after giving birth, but we must be careful to use them after a period of time after giving birth to prevent harm to the body. Moreover, the correct method is particularly important when using them. We generally wash our hands before use to prevent any effects on the body. |
