hi ladies! This may sound silly but I'm a week out of surgery. Can I use a tampon or do Drs only want pads for awhile?? Thank you!

I see no reason why not. They didn't do any work "there".  I used tampons after I had surgery. I don't remember if it was that soon, but I wouldn't have thought twice about it. I say - do it!

Your stomach/digestive system is the one being worked on, not your vagina/reproductive system.  You're fine to use whatever method you normally use for menstruation.

There was a poster a few years back that insisted the surgery was done up through the vagina, rather than incisions in the stomach.

Maybe she went in for gastrectomy and got a hysterectomy instead. Holy bad day, Batman.

We had s patient insisting that she remembers the dr punching her in the vagina AND  saying that we dropped her off the bed and were trying to cover it up by medicating her .

Sorry, I cannot believe that you are asking this. Your bowel system is not connected to your reproductive system  . . .
