This paper discusses endometriosis as a possible cause of infertility and examines the question of whether endometriosis occurs more frequently in women who use tampons compared with those who do not, positioning the issue as relevant for modern women and nurses. The study is described only at the level of this premise, and the abstract provides no details on study design, population, methods, or results. The paper’s stated limitation is that the provided information does not specify the evidence basis beyond raising the comparative question. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the relationship between tampon use and endometriosis occurrence.

Abstract

Endometriosis has been recognized as one of the possible causes for infertility. If endometriosis occurs more often in a women who uses tampons comparing to those who do not, it is an important point of discussion to the modern women and nurses. Recent research (van Rijswijck & Botha, 1997) indicated that a correlation between the use of tampons during menstruation and endometriosis exists. It seems that an educational program, by primary health care workers, indicating the potential dangerous effects of tampon use will lower the incidence of endometriosis, thus the problems with infertility could lesson and optimal health care to women could be improved.
