Ask Aunt Lori - Tampons

Dear Aunt Lori,

I got my period while away at summer camp. We're going swimming tomorrow and I don't want to miss it, but I've never put a tampon in before..

Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation, put simply, is a procedure where the endometrium is destroyed. The endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterus and the part that thickens to either provide a place for a fertilized egg or be shed as a period.

My periods were hell

For eighteen years since then, I’ve battled with severe pain, heavy bleeding, ovarian cysts, and pure torture nearly every month for several days – on top of my other health issues.
