A member asked:
May i use a tampon one week after a medical abortion? i am finding conflicting information online....
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tampon: My instructions after any D&C, no matter what reason are nothing in the vagina for two weeks (no sex, no tampons and no douching). I also suggest no tub bathing for two weeks either. The risk of endometritis from tampon use is high enough to not use them.
