How long after a c section can i begin using tampons again? i'm 7 weeks post surgery

Not for, but for...: Tampons should not be used for bleeding related to the C-section still healing, so avoid them until you've completely healed. That is, the internal wound where the placenta was attached to the uterus. That said usually at 6 weeks after C-section, if all bleeding has stopped, your doctor will give the green light to use tampons with the next menstrual cycle.
