Scented Tampons Cause TSS?!
Question: Scented Tampons Cause TSS!?
I have heard multiple times that scented tampons increase your risk of getting TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome)!. I read the little information paper in the tampon box!. (I use tampax pearl plastic unscented) and it did not say anything about increasing your risk of getting TSS!. However, it did say that not alternating between tampons and pads, wearing a tampon too long, and sleeping in a tampon (and a few other warnings as well) will increase the risk of getting TSS!. Which led me to believe if it is true that scented tampons can increase risk it would have said something!. My step mother accidentally grabbed me a box of Tampax Pearl Plastic "Fresh Scent" and I don't know if I should use them!. I don't think using them once would really effect me but I am curious as to if using scented tampons long term can increase risk of getting TSS, and why!. Thank you all!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Tampons of any type significantly increase your risk of TSS as well as other health problems such as vaginal infections and menstrual problems, commercial tampons like Tampax increase the risk further and this goes for scented tampons too!.
The problem with tampons is that they are dry absorbent wads of material being inserted into a moist delicate environment; tampons prevent normal cleaning functions by preventing the vagina flushing out dead cells and excess bacteria!. Tampons absorb vaginal fluids as well as menstrual flow which dries out the vagina causing splitting and ulceration, fibres break off the tampon becoming embedded in the walls of your vagina, and tampons give bacteria the perfect place to multiply within the vagina, all causing vaginal health problems and increasing risk of TSS!. Commercial brands are an increased risk because they are made from synthetics which are more absorbent as well as rougher adding to vaginal damage, as well as this commercial brands use unnecessary additives, chemicals and bleach to make their tampons whiter
