Will using tampons cause gynecological diseases?

When using tampons, especially internal tampons, it should be noted that it is best to use them in combination with panty liners. There are instructions for use on the outer packaging of the tampon, so be sure to read them carefully before use. Sometimes it may be difficult to insert a tampon, in which case you can use a lubricant. Here we will introduce how to use tampons to avoid gynecological diseases.

Many women like to choose sanitary napkins with high moisture absorption capacity, thinking that they don’t have to change them frequently and save a lot of trouble. However, if sanitary napkins are not changed for a long time, the local accumulation of menstrual blood will greatly increase the humidity and the local ventilation and air permeability will be poor, which is more conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and increases the frequency of various gynecological diseases. Therefore, no matter what kind of sanitary napkin you use, you should pay attention to changing it frequently when using it in summer.

It is best to buy sanitary napkins and use them immediately. Sanitary napkins should be stored in a dry, sterile environment and have a certain shelf life. If sanitary napkins are exposed to moisture or stored for too long, they will deteriorate and become contaminated even if they are not opened. It is best to buy sanitary napkins and use them immediately every month. The unused ones can be stored in a small cotton bag. When you need to carry them when going out, you should store them separately and not mix them with cosmetics in your bag.

When choosing sanitary napkins, pay attention to the breathability and expiration date of the material; wash your hands before use to prevent your germy hands from contaminating the sanitary napkins; sanitary napkins, panty liners, and tampons should be changed every 2 hours or so, even if the menstrual flow is very small. In addition, during menstruation, showers should be the main method of bathing. Baths in a tub should be avoided as much as possible. The number of times you bathe in public places should also be reduced.

In fact, gynecological diseases caused by using tampons are often due to improper use methods. Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood some precautions when using tampons. Let me explain here that tampons come in different sizes. When purchasing, be sure to read the instructions on the outer packaging in detail and choose the size that suits you.
