Hello,
I had a call with my dr to discuss contraception and to get some advice about my heavy and very painful periods. During the call I mentioned that since having my children I cannot comfortably wear tampons, it’s like I can always feel them if that makes sense? She was entirely dismissive of this and says there’s no reason at all that would be the case. But it definitely is an issue for me and I’m now wondering if it’s all in my mind? Has anyone else experienced this?
For reference I’ve had two children, an episiotomy, and two second degree tears and I have a mild prolapse - so i always assumed some combination of these cause the issue?
As an aside, has anyone been able to get their dr to take very heavy painful periods seriously? For three days I’m bleeding through night pads every two hours and the pain is so bad I end up struggling to walk- but the dr didn’t seem interested or concerned.
Sorry it’s long. Thanks for reading!
