Can i use a tampon while having a uti ?

Yes: This should pose no increased risk to UTI progression, and should have no impact on treatment.

Here are some ...: If one has a continuous steady urine flow and can empty her bladder, and the tampon is not "too" bulky & tight, the use of tampon should not affect how you is treated for documented UTI. Of course, you can try and see; if it bothers your voiding, don't it; if not, use it. More? Ask your gyn-doc timely in detail.

UTI and tampons: Urinary tract infections (UTI) need to be treated, but tampons if appropriately used are not going to interfere with the treatment. The UTI occurs in the bladder and urethra (tube connecting the bladder and the outside) and if a tampon is changed correctly, there should be no effect on the treatment of the UTI.
