A member asked:
What is the reason i cannnot use tampons after having my ovary removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: For any gynecological operation the usual care is to have 2-6 weeks of vaginal rest, this is to prevent ascending infection into the uterus and vagina. See you discharge instructions or call your OB/GYN to see what their specific instructions are as the recommendations will vary depending on the specific surgery you had.
