miscarriage bleeding- tampons or pads?

Question

Had miscarriage today - I am bleeding quite heavily with clots. I never ever wear sanitary pads as I just feel like everyone can see them and they always leak for me! What is the reason we are told to use pads not tampons at this time? I'm changing it almost every hour.....

Answer

Pads are recommended due to risk of infection if you use tampons. Your body is flushing the tissue from your system during a miscarriage and it raises your risk of getting an infection.

Answer

Use pads, as uncomfortable as they are. If you use tampons you could risk getting an infection.

Answer

Doctors would say use pads until your done miscarrying

Answer

Answer
