BCCFP Family Practice Researcher
Konia Trouton
Dr. Konia Trouton is recognized as the Principal Investigator for the research project Finding Lasting Options for Women (FLOW) Project.
The goal of this project is to determine the overall satisfaction with a mentrual cup, compared to tampons, as a mentrual flow management strategy. Tampons are costly and generate a great deal of waste. An equally safe, effective, cheaper and reusable alternative would provide women with a valuable tool and increased choice.
Cups are more environmentally friendly but we want to discover whether they're associated with more medical risks such as vaginitis or bladder infection, say Dr. Trouton.
This study has generated a lot of interest across Canada and the United States.
