A member asked:
I have had 2 urine tests showing occult blood 1+ . is it safe to wear a tampon when i am retested to make sure it's not from the vaginal area?

Sure: If you are having any vaginal bleeding it can show up in a clean catch urine specimen. A tampon may help. You could also have a catheterized speciman to be the most accurate. If the blood persists then get checked ou to determine the cause. Hope this helps.
