Hi Ladies,

Sorry to have to ask this but I need to know!!

When you have your period do you use a tampon? My anal fissure is just starting to heal and as the vagina and the anal canal are both quite close together I don't want to put pressure on my anal canal but putting a tampon in and therefore possibly putting pressure on my fissure?! Does anyone know? I have tried researching this but cannot find out. I'm only using sanitary towels for now, just incase!!!

Lol..... I don't dare use a tampon in case the string goes backwards and irritates or injures the fissure..... Think cheese wire!!

I just stick to pads, and buy the long ones so they absorb any moisture that may trickle back there and be potentially irritating.


Hope that helps!M

Oh yeah, hadn't even thought of that thanks OMB! Don't think I will ever wear a thong again either!...It's Bridget Jones pants for me all the way

Don't forget to mention your AF to your gynecologist when you go in for your annual pap . . . you will want your doctor to be especially gentle and careful.
