Is menstrual cup safe to use? I am using menstrual cup till 1 year but recently my doctor told not to use cup bcoz anything which is inserted inside can lead to infection and the periods remains inside vagina for the time the cup is inside and cup is reusable so it also invites bacteria. Is this true? Because many gynecologist on youtube and google says that cup is safe to use. Is it safe or harmful?

Everything in life has side effects and effects are to be compared with side effects to decide in favor or against. If cup is maintained properly and hands washed properly and cup changed as advised then no to minimal chance of infection.
