Patient's question:
I always feel uncomfortable with my body when I have my period and use sanitary pads. I often feel a sense of stuffiness and itching down there. My colleague recommended using tampons, but I always feel they are not clean. What are the major drawbacks of using tampons?Doctor's answer:
If sanitary tampons are not changed in a timely manner, they may cause significant harm to the body, leading to gynecological inflammation. If sanitary tampons are used, they may sometimes obstruct the normal flow of menstruation, preventing it from being properly expelled. This could lead to reflux and conditions such as pelvic inflammation or other diseases. Generally, using sanitary tampons does not have any side effects, but if they are not changed regularly, the impact on the body can be very severe.
