[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just sort of piggy-backing on this thread. I was a tampon user for 20 years, but after my first born, I couldn't keep them in - my body just sort of pushed them out.  I only had a couple of periods before getting pregnant again, and now, post-partum, again they're really uncomfortable and it's like my body is trying to expel them.  I'm wondering if this is a temporary condition, or if I'll be plagued with pads forever (not that I think they're so bad, but that would certainly hamper swimming and other activities).  Any thoughts or experience with this?  Am I a biological freak?[/quote]

You probably have prolapse... I would see your OB.[/quote]

Well you scared me.  I looked it up and I don't have any of the following symptoms:

Sensation of heaviness or pulling in your pelvis
    Tissue protruding from your vagina
    Urinary problems, such as urine leakage or urine retention
    Trouble having a bowel movement
    Low back pain
    Feeling as if you're sitting on a small ball or as if something is falling out of your vagina
    Sexual concerns, such as sensing looseness in the tone of your vaginal tissue
    Symptoms that are less bothersome in the morning and worsen as the day goes on

So I guess it's really mild if so?  I'll increase my kegels....

Chances are your uterus has shifted after childbirth.  It is very common...so common that docs don't even mention it.  Google tampons with tilted uterus and you will see how common it is.  I have tilted uterus and it takes a lot of shifting and maneuvering to get a tampon it the right way.  It can be done though.[/quote]

Well I'll be.... I'm the Piggy-backing-on-OP above, and just want to say thanks on behalf of women everywhere!  Some others who are not me have chimed in, and it looks like you, PP, have made a difference in numerous lives today!  Indeed I've always had a tilted uterus as well, but actually thought pregnancy had straightened it out.  I bet you're right -- I bet it's shifted.  I'll check out whether any ninja maneuvers during my next period can get a tampon in place.  Many many thanks.[/quote]
