Can i still wear tampons while i have a bacteria infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: If you mean bacterial vaginosis the answer is it would be best not to, but if being treated probably little negative effect. If you are referring to other systemic infections there should not be any contraindication to wearing tampons.
