A member asked:
It's been 6 weeks since i had my baby but i started my period, so is it okay for me to use tampons now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if OK with OB: Check with your OB at the post-partum examination to be sure everything has healed before using tampons. There may have been an extensive tear into the rectum(4th degree) at delivery that may preclude tampon use.
