Tampons in pregnancy with sea buckthorn oil, honey, Vishnevsky ointment, dimexide

Many women prefer to use tampons – and not only during their periods, but also for treatment. Pregnancy is no exception, because no one is immune from various diseases during these months. Tampons during pregnancy – or rather, the possibility of their use, causes a lot of controversy, both among doctors and among women themselves. So, after all: to be or not to be tampons during pregnancy?

Can you use tampons during pregnancy?

According to many doctors, the use of tampons is advisable in situations where the possibility of leakage and the use of a daily pad cannot be allowed. For example, a woman needs to wear some kind of clothing through which part of her underwear will be visible, this could be a tight dress, light trousers, etc. In such situations, the use of a tampon is justified: the woman gains confidence that she looks perfect.

In addition, the use of tampons can be part of a woman's treatment: tampons often contain a medicinal component that acts directly on the inflamed or affected mucous membrane, without affecting other organs and tissues.

However, frequent and especially daily use of tampons is not welcomed. If a woman has any discharge during pregnancy, the doctor must know about it. In addition, these discharges should flow out - on their own, without any obstacles. If the discharge gets into a warm and non-sterile tampon, then such conditions are created inside it that will become an excellent environment for the development of pathogenic bacteria. Considering that a woman's immunity is always reduced during pregnancy, it becomes very easy to "earn" an inflammatory process. Especially if tampons are inserted for a long period of time.

Based on the above, we can conclude that tampons can be used, but only in cases of special need and not for long.

How to give urine with a tampon during pregnancy?

Another necessity for using a tampon during pregnancy is to submit a urine sample for analysis. To submit urine correctly (read - so that the results are correct), you only need to follow a few simple rules:

• select only a clean container for urine (you can take it in advance from the laboratory or buy it at the pharmacy);
• we collect a portion for analysis in the morning, after the morning shower;
• Before collecting urine, place a small folded cotton swab into the vagina - this is necessary to prevent vaginal discharge from getting into the urine;
• fill the container with the “middle portion” of urine – this method will also prevent foreign impurities from getting into the analysis;
• After the urine for analysis has been collected, the cotton swab is removed.

The urine container must be brought to the laboratory within two hours of collection.

Indications for use

Tampons are often used for therapeutic purposes - and for a number of diseases. As a rule, this type of treatment can be effective at the initial stage of inflammation, in the chronic form of pathology (especially to prevent exacerbation).

Tampons have a direct effect on the mucous tissues of the vagina and all reproductive organs.

You should not use ordinary hygienic tampons for medical purposes. The purpose of such tampons is to absorb moisture. If they are soaked in medicine, there will be no return - the result of treatment will be zero.

Tampons during pregnancy may be prescribed by a doctor:

• in case of cervical erosion;
• for myoma;
• for endometritis;
• for thrush (candidiasis);
• for inflammation of the ovaries.

Use during pregnancy

Before deciding to use tampons during pregnancy, you should consult your gynecologist. Do not self-medicate under any circumstances - this can harm not only yourself, but also the future baby, or even terminate the pregnancy.

• Sea buckthorn tampons are usually used to treat cervical erosion, endometritis and endometriosis. Sea buckthorn oil relieves pain, stops the inflammatory process, and heals tissues. Sea buckthorn tampons can be used during pregnancy for 7-14 days: a tampon soaked in sea buckthorn oil is inserted into the vagina before bedtime, once a day.
• Tampons with honey are a common folk method of getting rid of erosion and inflammation of the appendages, as honey has excellent healing, restorative and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is not advisable to use tampons with honey during pregnancy, and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, honey is a strong allergen, and allergies during pregnancy can have very unfavorable consequences. Secondly, honey, as a sweet product, can cause an exacerbation of thrush, which is also extremely undesirable. Therefore, if possible, it is better to replace honey tampons during pregnancy with another method of treatment.

A completely different matter is honey tampons for pregnancy. According to reviews, many women managed to get pregnant thanks to treatment with honey tampons. How is this procedure performed? First, douche with a weak soda solution or chamomile infusion. After that, insert a tampon soaked in natural honey diluted in water (2:1) with a few drops of aloe juice. Insert the tampon overnight, but not more than 10 hours. A total of 10 procedures are required for the course.

• Vishnevsky ointment is known to accelerate the resolution of inflammatory processes, since the ointment contains tar, which increases blood supply to tissues and promotes healing. Tampons with Vishnevsky during pregnancy are used only with the permission of a doctor - after all, there are many individual contraindications. Self-use of the ointment during pregnancy is prohibited.
• Chinese tampons, which, according to the manufacturers, are designed to relieve women from all ailments of the genitourinary tract, cannot be used during pregnancy. Chinese tampons and pregnancy are incompatible, since the probability of spontaneous termination of pregnancy is too high. In particular, Hao Gang tampons are also strictly contraindicated during pregnancy.
• Tampons with Miramistin during pregnancy can be prescribed by a doctor only in a special case - for example, for emergency treatment of a sexually transmitted infection. But most often, tampons with Miramistin are used to prevent the development of inflammatory processes in the genital area in the postpartum period. Such treatment begins in advance - about a week before the expected date of the onset of labor. Such treatment can last up to 2 weeks. The frequency of tampon insertion is determined by the doctor on an individual basis.
• Dimexide is a well-known anti-inflammatory, absorbent and antimicrobial agent, which is often used to improve the condition of the genital tract shortly before the start of pregnancy planning. However, it is not advisable to use tampons with Dimexide during pregnancy, since this solution can provoke an increase in the tone of the uterus. External application of Dimexide to the skin during pregnancy is allowed - for example, with osteochondrosis, neuritis, etc.
• Malavit is a natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent that is considered safe for pregnant women. A tampon with Malavit during pregnancy helps to solve the problem of genital herpes infection, candidiasis, chlamydia, erosion, endocervicitis. It is also used for threatened miscarriage. A tampon made from a bandage is generously moistened with diluted Malavit (20 drops + 200 ml of water) and inserted into the vaginal cavity for an average of three hours. Diluted Malavit remains active for 24 hours. The course of treatment is determined by the doctor: most often 5-10 procedures are carried out.
• Soda tampons during pregnancy are considered the most common remedy for thrush. The soda solution is easy to prepare, it is affordable and effective. For treatment, use a 2% soda solution (about 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 200 ml of water). To speed up recovery, doctors recommend warm sitz soda baths and soda douches. The minimum therapeutic course is 5 days.

You can't use a tampon in a pool during pregnancy: this will increase the risk of infection in the genital tract several times. If you want to swim in a pool during pregnancy, you can do it without additional means of protection.

Contraindications for use

• Tampons should not be used during pregnancy if there is heavy vaginal discharge.
• Do not use if there is bleeding.
• They need to be changed at least once every 3-4 hours, regardless of how full they are.
• You can't use it all the time. Tampons are only a temporary measure, for extreme cases.
• You can provoke a miscarriage with Chinese-made tampons, as well as any other tampons with medicinal fillers not recommended by your gynecologist.

Reviews

There is a lot of medical and user information on the topic of the possibility of using tampons by pregnant women. For example, there is an opinion that using tampons can aggravate the course of infectious diseases, as well as vaginal candidiasis.

However, according to many reviews, chronic inflammatory diseases often develop in women with unstable and weakened immunity, or with individual hypersensitivity to a specific pathogen - for example, to fungi. Be that as it may, it is strictly forbidden to use tampons during pregnancy unless their use is agreed upon with a doctor. Pregnancy is a unique period when the use of any medications is strictly prohibited. Treatment with tampons is also prohibited, but this prohibition is relative, since the decision regarding the use of tampons is still made by the doctor.
