A member asked:
Don't usually use tampons. used yesterday to swim. since taking it out, my period has stopped. supposed to have period for 3-4 more days. any concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably ok: A short light period is not typically a cause for concern. Tampons will not affect the length or a period or the amount of bleeding. They will absorb more blood and change the perception of bleeding. If you like the effect of tampons you may want to continue otherwise you can return to your normal menstrual hygiene
