Is it good for women to use menstrual tampons?

I believe that many women in China don’t know what menstrual tampons are, but when you hear the word menstruation, you will know that it has a lot to do with women’s menstrual period. In our country, women’s menstrual products are mainly sanitary napkins, and tampons are basically not seen. But for European and American women, this is a very important part of their daily life. Tampons have great benefits. So, is it good for you women to use menstrual tampons?

Are tampons easy to use? It depends on the individual. You can still use tampons during sleep at night, but since the night time is longer, you can choose tampons with weaker absorption to use with sanitary napkins. If you still have health concerns, you can use sanitary napkins instead.

Some women use tampons in order to engage in activities such as swimming and hot spring bathing during their menstrual week. Due to the physiological structure of the human body, water will not enter the vagina, but when using tampons to engage in such activities, they still need to pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness.

Some people are also worried that the cotton thread (drawstring) will break. Since tampons are high-density compressed bodies, the cotton thread is tightly pressed into the tampon body, so that the cotton thread can withstand a tensile force of more than three kilograms, and there is no need to worry about the cotton thread being broken.

Experts remind: "Generally, people think that tampons can absorb menstrual blood, keeping the vagina clean and dry while allowing for free movement."

But the fact is that this type of tampon expands after absorbing menstrual blood, which not only blocks the flow of menstrual blood, but if the pressure is too high, it will cause menstrual blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity, inducing endometriosis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and other diseases.

In addition, tampons not only absorb menstrual blood, but also absorb the original moisture in the vagina. The shed tissue from the uterus is then absorbed by the vaginal mucosa, causing the original self-cleaning function of the vagina to fail, breeding Staphylococcus aureus, and easily causing blood poisoning and even toxic shock syndrome. Three deaths have been reported in the UK. Therefore, tampons should be used with caution.

Is it good for women to use tampons during menstruation? Looking at the above introduction, we have learned that whether menstrual tampons are easy to use is determined by people's physical conditions. We all know that menstrual tampons are easy to carry and can bring a lot of convenience to people. However, we all know that menstrual tampons will be close to women's private parts, so it is easy to cause harm to women's health, so everyone should be careful.
