A member asked:
I changed my regular tampon three times in a day as it was full. it was the first day of my period this month. is that considered heavy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Sounds more like normal flow. Heavy flow will usually require more than 3 changes and may be associated with passing clots. Be sure to schedule routine GYN check and discuss any further concerns you may have.
