What would the consequences of prolonged tampon use?

I’m very active throughout the day and at times when i’m on my menses, I often have a tampon on for a lenghty amount of time.. Is this safe or can this cause any type of health risks.. infections and so on?

And is it safe to wear a tampon to bed, granted that you get up and change throughout the night?

Thank you for your answers.




I’m 15 years old, male, cis, and have wondered for a while now what taking estrogen for a week would do to me. I’m not going to (because I can’t, don’t know how to and haven’t got any good reason to other than I want to try it,) but I’m just interested as to what would happen.




Every month, it’s the same thing. I feel like I can’t stop eating. I can tell a big difference in my appetite during PMS and I always feel bloated during that time. I hate feeling hungry all the time but I don’t want to give in and gain weight either. I try to start a diet but always want to throw it out the window when PMS rolls around.




Where do you get a menstrual cup and what is it?

I heard that a menstrual cup is better to use and u have a reduced chance of going into shock?? Where to get it and how to put it in?




What's the reason for low sex drive in a younger guy?

I’m in my mid twenties, I used to have a really high sex drive, last couple months it’s almost like having sex with my gf is a chore.

I’ve been with my gf for about 5 years so not sure whether I’m just bored with my or whether I have something physically wrong with me.

Also, are there any natural remedies for this?




Are ovaries supposed to feel hard during the period?

During your period, when you feel the ovary areas, do they feel harder than usual?




Have any f you had an adverse reaction to DHEA?

I was taking 25 mg for about two months for depression, and had a stroke. There are conflicting articles on Google.




Ok well I am supposed to get my period this morning and it never showed up. I had brown spotting yesterday so I dont know what is going on. Have you had this before?
Yeah I am and I have been having some signs so.




Do you have research output on importance of family planning among indigents in the Philippines?




Was it higher or just plain normal?




I have secondary amenorrhea, most likely due to my mild eating disorder. I am 21, my OBGYN prescribed me provera 10 mg that I am to take every day for 10 days every 4-5 months. So I don’t take it that often so I’m hoping some of the gross side effects like weight gain, acne and depression won’t be prominent or even present.




I was put on Estradiol to ease cramps?

associated with my Mirena IUD.. But while I was researching about estradiol, I discovered it was mostly for menopause. Im 27. Has anyone else taken this drug for cramping?




I have 30-33 day cycles and I am trying to get pregnant. I was told two years ago that I have low progesterone levels. there has also been times when I had a 10 day late period and the only thing that I can assume is that my body is trying to get pregnant but due to low progesterone (estrogen dominance) the baby was unable to "stick"

Well, I got a positive Ovulation Predictor Test on Cycle day 14. I have been having unprotected sex with my partner the day before, the day on, and the day after the positive opk test. In addition, I have also been having slight cramping on both sides where my ovaries would be located, and the day that we had unprotected sex the same day I got the positive result, I had very very very light spotting after sex (ovulation spotting possibly). Well, My question is, should I begin using the progesterone cream now that I am almost certain that I have already ovulated? or should I wait a few days to ensure that Ive Ovulated before I begin using it? progesterone cream that I am using is 100% natural. and it is contained in a pump so the measurements are accurate when being used (one squirt or pump per application)//// and i also wanted to know how long do I use this progesterone cream? I am now at cycle day 18. the positive OPK happened at cycle day 14 (four days ago) any advice and advice from ladies who have had success doing this will be absolutely helpful




I am trying to loose weight and it is going well but i still want to loose ideally another stone and a half.
However, i was also planning on going on the contraceptive pill but i heard it will make weight lose harder, if not impossible.
Is this true? Should i wait till i have lost the weight i want until i start the pill?




We’ve been TTC for 2 years now and going to an OBGYN who isn’t being as "aggressive" as I’d like. Should we go to an RE instead? Also, my husband has type 1 diabetes. Would an RE be good for that? Thanks!
