Question: I am having an MRI on my back tomorrow, does anyone know if it is ok to wear a tampon during theMRI?
I know that I can not have anything metal on during the MRI but I am not sure if the tampon will interfere with the imaging of my lower back?

honestly i don't know, never thought about it. I don't think it will interfere if that's what you're asking. I mean MRI's go right through clothes and everything so you should be fine.



It should be fine, but take a pad with you. I know when you get stuff like that done they ask you if you are pregnant and when your last menstrual cycle was, just tell them you are on it now and you are using a tampon, they will tell you if you need to take it out or not. Don't be embarrassed either, I'm sure they have heard worse.



For heavens sake, wear the tampon!!! I mean really, what do you think would happen??



You will be fine.

yes !! as long as there is no metal.
