A member asked:
Why can't you use tampons after a csection if bleeding isn't heavy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: Surgery of any kind causes tissue disruption which can make you more susceptible to infections. Placing a tampon in you vagina will allow bacteria to collect, multiply and cause infections.
