Spotting is normal when you're due your period, menstruation doesn't have an on/off switch, it takes time for the uterine lining to start shedding so it will start slowly. Your period is heavy but not necessarily unusually heavy and unless you have other symptoms there's no reason to think there's anything wrong. If you're leaking through an ultra absorbency tampon within an hour then your period is unusually heavy and you should seek medical attention.
This bleeding needs to be investigated. Bleeding that heavy is NOT normal.
Hi Heavy bleeding like this needs to be investigated by your doctor. Bleeding that is so heavy that it requires you to change your pad or tampon every 1-2 hours, is too heavy and definitely needs to be told to your doctor.
Yes, a period is a result of hormones and wearing or not wearing a tampon has nothing to do with it. Never ever wear a tampon without having a period. Read the warnings on the tampon box because it tells you not to do that.
I hope you are not wearing a tampon when not on a period. This is unhealthy and if you are just starting your period you should not be using a tampon until you are older. The tampon box gives written as well as a diagram of how to put in a tampon. Follow the directions and read the warnings. This is very important.
a period without a tampon
Yes, you can use a tampon whenever you have a period
you get a tampon or pad
Yes. Unless you are on a period you shouldn't be using a tampon and if you are you need to change it several times a day. The bacteria is what causes the TSS and it can kill you. I hope you have stopped doing this.
A woman does not get her period while she's pregnant, therefore, she does not need a tampon.
You cannot do this, it would be embarrassing for you, so wear a tampon, or stay out of the pool.
It something you use when you're on a period
yes you can go swimming when you have your period. If you want to do this then its best to use a tampon. Just find what type of tampon suits you and you should be fine.
Put a tampon in or use a pad.
