tampon during surgery?

Is it ok to wear a tampon when I'm having my breast augmentation done?

I would think a pad is better during surgery.

My PS wouldn't let me wear a tampon. I had to wear a pad.

My PS prefered no tampon, but said a menstrual cup was ok. I didn't end up needing anything though.

So we dont have 'menstral cups' here I'm fascinated as to what it actually is. I would say no tampon from a medical point of view due to the TSS (toxis shock) risks, the surgeon is responsible for you and would he would have no idea how long the tampon has been in for and how long the surgery may go for. (if it were to be longer due to complications ect) Hope this helps.

Mine is a Diva Cup. It's a silicone cup that is inserted into the vagina, and safe to leave it in for 12 hours!! Other than a bit of leaking, I love mine!
