Question 1

how can i know when girls start using tampons?

Accepted Answer

Tampons: A girl can start using tampons once she starts menstruating and her vaginal opening is large enough. Wearing tampons may be more comfortable when swimming or involved in sports.

Question 2

teen health topic about girls: should you wear 2 tampons so you don't make a mess at school?

Accepted Answer

No: This is an adamant no.  Having 2 tampons in can increase your risk of toxic shock syndrome - a very serious and life threatening bacterial infection.

Question 3

school nurse needs advise on excusing girls from swimming during menses when student won't use tampons.  big pushback from pe staff.

Accepted Answer

Oh my.....: Teaching staff absolutely cannot dictate a girl's choice in this matter. Humiliating a girl into wearing a tampon or bleeding everywhere is unacceptable. To deter abuse of the privilege by students, a good compromise may be not an excuse from PE, just from swimming.  They can dress out in shorts/tee and sit poolside if needed to attend class.Forcible use of tampons is assault. Humiliation is abuse

Question 4

what is a tampoon? i've heard girls using it. is it a birth control?how does it look like?

Accepted Answer

Tampones: Is intravaginal device used to prevent external bleeding in women during menses.

Question 5

feeling dizziness when removing tampon, help?

Accepted Answer

Position?: If what you're stating is that you feel dizzy when you bend over to pull the tampon out, putting your head down around your waist and looking upside down, this would be normal.  There are nerves near the cervix which can cause a drop in blood pressure and dizziness too, so both could be the cause.  If persists, see family doc, internist or neurologist.

Question 6

Question 7

today was the first time that i wore a tampon. after removing it my period stopped & hasn't start back as yet ( 7 hours later). why? - 18 y/o, virgin

Accepted Answer

No worries: A tampon soaks up blood far more efficiently than a pad.  It may take a few hours for the remaining blood to make its way out now.  Tampons are so comfortable you can forget you have one.  Always check at the end of a period to be sure you have removed the last one, especially if you notice any unusual odor.  Use the least absorbent size/type you need for your level of bleeding.

Question 8

i'm a 16 y/o girl. i lost my virginity to another virgin 5 days ago. now experiencing severe, abnormal pain both when inserting and removing tampons?

Accepted Answer

Bruising ;irritation: The probable reason is that, after having sexual intercourse for the first time, you may have had some bruising and small tears of the vagina, which is causing discomfort when inserting and removing tampons.

Question 9

i'm on my period and when removing tampon a clump came out that looked like lining or sac of some kind is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Could be just: clotted blood, or increased cervical mucus.  Sometimes hormonal fluxes occur in a woman's body and you bleed more than normal, or with more cervical mucus.  If you are on birth control pills, this change could be due to variation in the pill's hormonal content, or your very own.  Monitor and see if this increase returns.  Have your periods been regular?

Question 10

ttc and 1 day late. put a tampon in and tiny bit of brown discharge on it after removing it. nothing else. neg test where is period ?

Accepted Answer

Irregularity common: Being a day or two late in one month is not uncommon, especially if you've had a stressful month or had changes to your weight.  Retake your pregnancy test if your period hasn't come in a week.  If your cycle is being more irregular than the past for a couple months in a row see your doctor for evaluation.
