Lupus Sle And Tampons
Posted: 02-02-06 01:35am

Ok, why can't we use tampons? My Dr. Never mentioned to me not to. I have such heavy periods that I can't imagine what i'd do without them! I mean just last night I had to get up 3 times to change a super size tampon! And I use a pad as well! And.....When I go to sit on the pot to renew, I flow right through the tampon that's still in!!!! So, no tampons would be aweful for me!!! (sorry for any men reading!!) whats to worry about? Just wondering, gena

Hey there

well I don't know about you but I find sex very painful at times with lupus, I can't get anything up there without pain so I don't like or use tampons.

I haven't heard from my doc that tampons are a no no with lupus, although for me too i'm so heavy with my period that a tampon wouldn't be enough anyway.

I would ask your doc or gyno why it is bad, it could just be that it's because of the pain most people have using them with lupus or fibro.

Take care
