Can you get TSS the first time you use a tampon?!


Question: .


Answers: .

Yes. You could also win the progressive jackpot right after putting your first quarter into the slot machine.

I mean, both things are possible, but both things are also EXTREMELY unlikely to ever happen to you.

Toxic shock is not caused by tampons. It is caused by bacteria. MEN get this rare disease as well, and they don't use tampons. Washing your hands before inserting a tampon is even more effective prevention than changing the tampons frequently. Because if there's no bacteria, there's no toxic shock.

you can get tss whenever you use a tampon. regardless of how many times you've used it.
It is extremely unlikely though.
Don't leave the tampon in too long and don't use a tampon too big for your flow size. since this is the first time, start with a smaller tampon

dont sleep wearing tampons either.
you can get other infections too.

It's possible, but it's something that rarely happens. This website should give you some information to explain what TSS is:

As long as you change your tampon regularly and don't use a higher absorbency than you need, you should be okay.

Yes, You v\can get TSS the first time you wear a tampon, no matter how many times you have used a tampon, it doesnt mattter. Its all about how long you keep it in. The longer you wear it, the more bacteria inside your body is staying in your body. You should never wear a tampon over 6 hours, even thow it says 8, my doctor warned me saying 6 is more safe. Remember, stay clean sweetie, and if you actually think you could have TSS, you need to immediantly see a physician.

NO! T.S.S. is the absolute rarest side effect that can happen. Not to be nasty, but you would have to leave it in
for weeks to even get close to T.S.S. Every single drug or "product" approved by the FDA is required to list every single possible side effect that may have been experienced by anyone that ever used the drug/product. The FDA protects consumers at all cost. There are multiple studies done on everything. They report every possibility. Just for fun, read the drug info sheet on your next prescription..it can be a pain med..an anti-biotic..an eye drop..each will list the worst side effect as death!! It is required by law!
You also obviously have web access..look T.S.S. up on Web Md..you'll feel much better
