Lower Back Pain And Cramps With Tampon In

Is it normal to have cramps and lower back pain while having a tampon in?

When I put a tampon in I usually just get little cramps, but they last throughout my period. Before, using pads I would just get one big one and it would be over. And also, with the tampon I do have lower back pain. I have never had that before either.

    Cramping comes from the muscles in your pelvic area and uterine wall. A tampon inserted in that area could cause aggravation to the muscles and cramping could be a result. Strongly recommend that if you do have cramping that you discontinue their use so long as you have pain. Pain is a warning that something is wrong and you would be wise to stop using them. It is possible that another type of tampon might work better, but I have to say that I had that exact problem and found no relief except to stop using them altogether. It’s inconvenient but the relief I got was absolutely worth it.

    Edit: Most women do not get cramps from using a tampon, but some women do. Do not listen to answers that say they don’t get cramps using tampons because they are not you, you get cramps. Yes cramps may come with periods – not everyone gets them either. The specific answer to your question is NO, it is not normal to have cramps and lower back pain using a tampon. If you are having cramps you need to stop using tampons.

    Maybe you angled it the wrong way? Take it out and put in a new one and see if that helps. I have never had back pain from a tampon.

    yes, it’s pains and aches from having your period, not your tampon!

    Yes its normal to have lower back pain and cramps … more so when using a tampon because the blood isnt flowing out the body, its being blocked… as apposed to using a pad. Its normal use a heating pad on your back and stomach and take some midol.
