Australian swim star Cate Campbell has revealed she has permanent nerve damage in her right arm  - after previously using a contraceptive device to manage her periods when competing for Olympic gold.

Campbell, 30, spoke on her podcast Here If You Need as she seeks to end women's menstrual cycles being a taboo topic of discussion in wider society.

'It's not something I've ever really spoken about but it quite literally could have ended my career,' she said.

'It's actually had a real impact on me. 'I wanted to look at how I could manage my periods because I didn't want to race when I had my period, so I tried to explore a few options.'

Campbell - a four-time Olympian - opted to insert a progesterone bar in her inner right arm four years ago.
