Do you have these problems with tampons?


For the past 8 years I have had this problem with tampons and avoided using them. When I put in a tampon, at first I feel okay, then I start sweating and shaking and get almost a flash fever. I want to cry when this happens its so horrible. I asked the GYN nurse practitioner and she said she didn't know. Does anyone else ever feel like this when they use tampons? I feel like this even when i use tiny tampons. What might be wrong?

My GYN practitioner also suggested I may be allergic to them. I'm wondering hwo I could be allergic to cotton and other fibers inside my body even though I wear them every day, I think its kinda weird. Since I posted this I bought natural sea sponge tampons to see how they work out.

well all i noe is that some ppl can be allergic to them. that doesnt happend to me when i use them so, maybe there just not for you. if u dont like pads either get the thininst one possible.

best ofluck. my wisehs to ya!

Maybe its an allergic reaction

Not to me. But some women have a disease (I forget what it's called,sorry) that they tense up and get scared when they try to use a tampon. It also happens during sex. I suggest talking to your doctor because there is therapies.

I have heard that some people are allergic to tampons. It may be you are one of those people. Do the symptoms go away after you remove it? Do the symptoms persist if you dont remove it? If they do, I would think it is an allergy.

There are women allergic to tampons here you have some sites dealing with this issue:
