Do tampons have any side effects? As long as you use it correctly, 4 benefits will 'check in' to you
In recent years, tampons have been favored by many women. They can be directly put into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood. They are easy to carry and have a large absorption capacity. There is no need to worry about sticking menstrual blood to the pants. But some people are worried that tampons will have side effects on the body, so let's find out.
As long as tampons are used correctly, there are no side effects on the body. Tampons are the same as ordinary sanitary napkins. Most women have misunderstandings about tampons and think that using tampons will damage the hymen. In fact, this worry is unnecessary, but improper use can harm your health.
If the tampon is used for more than 8 hours, the tampon filled with menstrual blood will block the vagina, which will hinder the outflow of menstrual blood, and even some of the menstrual blood will flow back into the uterine cavity, which will induce a series of gynecological diseases over time.
Correctly placed tampons are very comfortable and free of any restraint, but placing them too quickly, in the wrong location, or in the wrong choice can cause a foreign body sensation or pain. Tampons and vaginal epithelial cells are in close contact, which reduces the body's resistance. If not replaced in time, the lining of the uterus can become increasingly dry and cracked due to the absorption of the tampon, and Staphylococcus aureus in the vagina can enter the blood circulation system, causing sore throat, fever, muscle and joint aches, and blood pressure drop. , and even cause shock.
- Avoid menstrual blood leakage
The most embarrassing thing for women is the side leakage of menstrual blood, which sticks to panties or pants with a little movement. However, there is no need to worry about this embarrassment when using tampons, no matter how much you move, it will not fall off, and menstrual blood will not leak.
2, can reduce private odor
Some women's private parts have peculiar smell, which is caused by the odor caused by the mixture of menstrual blood and sweat in a hot and humid environment for a long time. However, tampons can solve this problem, which can keep women's private parts dry and can block odors. There are also some scented tampons on the market that can remove odors.
- Easy to carry
Compared with sanitary napkins, tampons are small in size and easy to carry. You can take them out at any time in your pocket, and you don’t need to bring a bag when you go out. You don't have to wiggle like a sanitary napkin when you go to the toilet.
- Suitable for specific occasions
Generally, women in certain occupations, such as models, dancers and swimmers, use tampons during menstruation, because no traces can be seen from the outside.
Like sanitary napkins, tampons have different models. You can choose the tampon with the minimum flow requirement according to your own menstrual flow. You must choose a regular manufacturer. Before using tampons, you must wash your hands with running water and soap to prevent germs from your hands from being brought into tampons. Because women's resistance is weak during menstruation, tampons with bacteria can cause infections or gynecological diseases when they enter the body. In order to prevent side leakage and infection, try to replace it every 3 to 4 hours, and the longest should not exceed 8 hours. If the cotton thread is found to be contaminated, it needs to be replaced with a new cotton sliver immediately. In addition, not all people are suitable for using tampons. Women with gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis cannot use it, otherwise it will cause secondary infection and aggravate the condition.
