What Causes Urinary Incontinence Upon Wearing A Tampon During Periods?
Hi! I had my first baby about 2.5 years ago. I just stopped breastfeeding about 3 months ago, and I just restarted my period, not heavy at all, but I m exclusively using tampons, I ve noticed that I m having some urine leakage every day. I m really embarrassed and shocked I m only 20, and I can t control it! It happens only when I m wearing a tampon and will happen out of nowhere, it s so embarrassing! What can I do?! HELP

Hello,
The urinary incontinence is not in concern with wearing of tampon, but rather it is due to ligament laxity of pelvic musculature or sphincter of bladder with or without urinary infection. Kindly consult an expert urologist for evaluation with ultrasound and urine microscopy to find out the exact cause and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
