Tampon Risks
Tampons may allow us more freedom during menstruation, but they
raise serious health questions. The natural secretions of the
vagina are constantly cleaning the vagina and making the growth
of bacteria less likely. The tampon, however, is not a natural
part of this cleansing process. Some time after a tampon is
inserted, bacteria will begin to grow on the tampon. Bacteria,
like all living things, eat, digest, and excrete waste products.
The waste products excreted by the bacteria may be absorbed by
the vagina. There have been cases of women becoming seriously
ill and even dying from the absorption of the waste products on
a tampon. This is called toxic shock syndrome. The symptoms of
toxic shock syndrome are fever, vomiting, sunburn-like rash,
diarrhea, muscle aches, dizziness, and confusion.
Another concern with tampons is their effect on the body's
natural flow of energy. According to many schools of natural
healing, the body's energy naturally flows down during
menstruation. Many women experience that a tampon blocks the
downward flow of energy and causes abdominal discomfort and
cramping, which they do not experience when they use menstrual
pads. Some women have even begun to call tampons, crampons!
If you
decide to use tampons and want to reduce the risk, you
can buy the unbleached cotton variety. Bleached cotton or
synthetic tampons have been shown to contain dioxins,
contaminants associated with serious health problems. Always
remove a tampon in two hours or less, and do not sleep with
them.
If you want to go swimming during your moon-time, a tampon
allows you to do so. And the cool water will probably slow the
bleeding for a while. However, according to many schools of
traditional medicine, swimming in cool water during menstruation
cools the internal organs, which over time causes menstrual
discomfort and cramping. If you decide to swim during your days
of bleeding, be sure to remove the tampon after swimming. And
take time for a warm bath or a warm heating pad over your lower
abdomen after swimming.
Whenever possible, consider using menstrual pads instead of
tampons. Get to know the downward flow of energy during your
moon-time, and enjoy your ancient and sacred time of retreat.
Doing so will renew your energy and creativity each cycle.
