A member asked:

How come i get cramps in my lower abdomen when my tampon is full?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: When your tampon is full, the vagina (which is made of elastic tissue) is stretching and the stretch receptors in the vagina can cause cramping and an achy type of pain. While this is common, it is annoying. There's no harm that you're doing, rather it's just a sign that you need to change the tampon. Hope that helps!
