Using tampons?!


Question:

Using tampons?

I had surgery 13 days ago to fix a septate hymen. I had this done so that I would be able to use tampons.
The dissolvable stitches are still there, but is it okay to use a tampon yet? And how long would it take for the stitches to dissolve all the way?

Not a septate hymen, I meant an imperforate hymen.


Answers:

most dissolvable sutures are gone within 14 days, so it shouldn't be a problem.
however, i would check with your doctor, they might want you to wait longer depending on healing and stuff like that.
