A member asked:
Is there a link between tampons and uterine fibroids?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No! Not at all.: First, uterine fibroids are exceedingly comm with smaller ones having no side effects in most women. Obviously some, particularly larger ones can cause a host of problems. But no study links tampon usage with fibroids, (i knew the answer but double-checked on pubmed for sure!).

No: Howver, if the fibroids are bleeding heavily then more tampons will be used.
