TikToker says menstrual cup caused uterine prolapse in shocking video Unsplash.com: Oana CristinaOne TikToker left viewers with a new fear unlocked after claiming her menstrual cup caused uterine prolapse, saying the cup\u2019s suction dragged her uterus downward. Menstrual cups have risen in popularity over the past few years as an eco-friendly alternative to disposable products like pads and tampons. How they work: Menstrual cups are reusable silicon or rubber cups that are folded and inserted into the vagina, where they expand and collect period blood. However, one TikToker is claiming that the action of taking out her cup gave her a serious medical condition that is leaving viewers shocked. TikToker claims menstrual cup caused pelvic organ prolapse The TikToker went viral for sharing her experience with a menstrual cup. In her video, which garnered over 2.9 million views before being deleted, she says that the action of taking out the cup actually suctioned her uterus lower inside her body \u2014 a condition called \u2018uterine prolapse.\u2019 The creator says she noticed a lump in her vagina and went to her doctor, who asked her if she\u2019d ever had kids. \u201cShe was shocked, absolutely shocked, that I hadn\u2019t had kids,\u201d she recounted. \u201cI think to this day that she thinks that I\u2019ve had kids and I was just too afraid to tell her. \u2026she was shocked by the state of my hoo-ha.\u201d Curious, she claimed that she noticed the strong suction of her menstrual cup when she used it and decided to do a quick Google for her symptoms related to the products. It turns out that yes, menstrual cups can cause uterine prolapse if used incorrectly. According to the BBC\u2019s Victoria Derbyshire programme, multiple women have experienced pelvic organ prolapse as a result of using menstrual cups. In the BBC\u2019s report, pelvic floor physiotherapist Kate Lough explained that it\u2019s best not to just pull down on the bottom of the cup, but to rather squeeze the bottom of the cup to release the suction for a safer removal. (We\u2019ve included a different video here from Doctor Diksha S Chadha.) Viewers were left stunned by the TikToker\u2019s video, with many commenters claiming the clip had \u201cunlocked a new fear\u201d for them. \u201cMy cup literally pulled my IUD out,\u201d one user claimed. \u201cThis is why I stick with pads,\u201d another said. \u201cMY JAW DROPPED,\u201d another commented.
