Doctors are advising women about the importance of correct usage of menstrual cups after a case was reported where a misaligned cup caused temporary kidney problems. Despite being rare, improper positioning can lead to pressure on surrounding structures like the ureters. Women are encouraged to choose the right size and shape of cups and to ensure proper insertion techniques. While menstrual cups are a sustainable choice, the lack of clinical guidance underlines the necessity for precise informational resources to educate users effectively.
Correct positioning, along with choosing the correct cup shape and size, is important to prevent negative effects on the upper urinary tract.
Menstrual cups can be bought and used without clinical advice, emphasizing the importance of clear patient information material.
