"Doctor, I... I use a tampon and I can't get it out. ”
21-year-old Xiaoyou (pseudonym) heard from her cousin that tampons are much more convenient than sanitary napkins, and swimming is not a burden. So, Xiaoyou was also moved, and on the weekend, when her parents were not at home, she secretly tried to use it in her room, but she couldn't take it out after stuffing it in.
I really had no choice, she had to come to the hospital for help, I looked at Xiaoyou with an embarrassed face, and after helping her take it out safely, I smiled bitterly: "The little girl is fine, don't worry, you just used the wrong method, it is easy to get stuck if you don't use a tampon during menstruation!" ”
The vagina without menstruation is relatively dry, and then put the tampon with strong adsorption capacity in, it is likely that it is difficult to remove the tampon due to vaginal dryness, and there may be damage to the vaginal wall after a long period of placement, so do not use tampons outside of menstruation.
Xiao You breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "Then how to use tampons?" ”
In order for Xiaoyou not to have similar problems in the future, I gave Xiaoyou a physiological hygiene lesson on the use of tampons.
Sanitary napkins belong to the hygiene products used by women during menstruation, which are composed of cotton and man-made fibers.
The difference between the two is that the catheter type is to insert a tampon into the vagina through a catheter, while the finger sleeve type mainly tests the finger technique and uses the finger to put the tampon into the vagina.
Regarding how to use tampons correctly, the detailed steps are as follows:
1. Wash your hands first, take out the tampon to be used, check whether there is any damage, and straighten the thread at the end of the tampon;
2. After determining the safety of the tool, you can take a sitting or squatting position;
3. Then take the tampon, the catheter type can grasp the non-slip part of the catheter, and the finger sleeve type can put the finger into the center of the tampon;
4. Slowly feed the tampon into the vagina at an inclination of 45° until resistance is felt; [Note: If you feel a strong foreign body sensation at this time, it may be that the tampon is still near the vaginal opening, so you need to continue to go deeper to prevent the position from being too shallow]
5. After completing the placement steps, the catheter can be removed, and the finger can be taken out in the finger sleeve type, and the position of the cable can be adjusted to ensure that it is indwelling at the vaginal opening;
6. The tampon is usually used for 4-8 hours, and when taking it out, be sure to wash your hands first, and then pull the thread left in the vaginal opening to pull it out smoothly.
In addition to the above 6 steps, when using tampons, if there is a mistake in placement, it is best to replace it with a brand new tampon, do not use it again, it is easy to have bacterial infection;
If there is a similar situation in Xiaoyou, the tampon is stuck and cannot be taken out, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Also, there are a lot of rumors about tampons, for example, virgins can't use tampons. There is no scientific basis for this claim.
The hymen is not a closed form, but a ring-shaped tissue with holes of various shapes, usually about 2.5 cm in diameter, which facilitates the smooth discharge of menstrual blood.
So, if you're concerned about discomfort or difficulty inserting into your private parts when using a tampon, you can opt for a smaller tampon.
When Xiaoyou heard this, she then asked, "Is it really possible to swim with a tampon?" ”
My answer to this question is: not recommended; Although tampons are a better choice for swimming, it is best not to swim during menstruation, which will easily affect your health.
This is mainly because when a woman has her menstrual period, her uterus is open, and if she swims, it is very likely to bring the bacteria and viruses in the pool into the vagina, thus entering the uterus, increasing the risk of gynecological inflammation.
Menstruating girls should not do strenuous exercise, rest more, change tampons or sanitary napkins frequently, and ensure the health of private parts.
Okay, let's talk about the problems encountered by Xiaoyou.
At the end of the article, I would like to remind you one more point: sanitary napkins are replaced with new ones in a maximum of 2-3 hours; When the amount is small, it should not exceed 5 hours; The amount of tampons is mostly changed every 4-6 hours; When the amount is small, it should not exceed 8 hours.
Do you remember that?
