A tampon after vaginal surgery: useful or superfluous?

The purpose of the trial is to investigate whether there is less postoperative bleeding by using a tampon after vaginal surgery, whether there are more complications like infections, whether the result of prolapse surgery is negatively influenced by not using a tampon and what kind of influence there is on the quality of life.

There will be a comparison of two randomised groups, one group will receive a vaginal tampon and the other group won't. All women who will be submitted to vaginal surgery, will be asked to cooperate.

1. Is there, by using a vaginal tampon, less postoperative bleeding?;

2. Are there, by using a vaginal tampon, less postoperative infections?;

3. Is the result of prolapse surgery negatively influenced by not using a vaginal tampon?;

4. What kind of influence is there on the quality of life by using or not using a vaginal tampon?
