What to do if a tampon is difficult to insert

Tampons are a very popular menstrual product for women in European and American countries. They play a very good role in helping women go through their menstrual period safely and healthily. Compared with traditional sanitary napkins, tampons are more convenient to carry and take up less space, which can avoid embarrassment. Therefore, they are liked by many people. Tampons appeared relatively late in our lives, so many people have difficulties when using them. So do you know what to do if a tampon has difficulty inserting during menstruation?

First, read the instructions carefully before use and insert the tampon according to the steps prompted; secondly, choose a tampon of appropriate specifications according to the amount of menstruation. The principle is to choose the smallest size that can fully absorb the menstrual blood. At the same time, pay attention to reasonable adjustments according to the changes in the amount of menstruation. When replacing it, if you find that the tampon is dry and difficult to pull out, switch to one with a smaller absorption capacity; thirdly, tampons and sanitary napkins should be used alternately during menstruation, and tampons should not be used during the non-menstrual period.

Considering that during menstruation, the endometrium is shed, menstrual blood is discharged, and the cervix opens, the last of the three barriers is destroyed, making it easy for bacteria to invade. In addition, menstrual blood is discharged from the vagina, which changes the environment inside the vagina and weakens the self-cleaning function. The possibility of infection is higher than usual. Tampons are internal, so make sure they are contaminated. Wash your hands before and after using a tampon. Contaminated tampons should not be used again. They should be replaced every 4-8 hours.

While there is no increased risk of infection when tampons are used correctly, there are still issues that require extra attention. In a study of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), researchers found that menstruating women, especially those who use tampons, are more susceptible to this rare but dangerous disease. At present, there is no confirmed relationship between tampons and TSS, but if you experience high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, skin erythema, muscle pain, dizziness, fainting and other symptoms while using tampons, you must consider the possibility of TSS. At this time, you should remove the tampon immediately, go to the hospital for treatment quickly, and explain to the doctor that you are menstruating and using a tampon.

What should I do if it is difficult to insert a tampon? Many people want to know the answer to this question. In fact, this problem is very easy to solve. This is because women do not use the tampons correctly, or they do not choose the right model of tampons. Therefore, when the menstrual period comes, women need to pay more attention, carefully understand their own situation, and understand the steps of use, so that they can have an easy menstrual period.
