Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) may be caused by some bacteria such as staphylococcus aurous (stapha) left by toxins. For example, keeping the tampon inside for a very long time can promote the growth of these bacteria and the production of toxins that produce TSS.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) suggests, “TSS is a rare but life -threatening condition. It is caused by infection. It may occur by using tampons or menstrual cups or infected wounds. Symptoms develop quickly and you need immediate treatment.”

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) can be caused by several factors, including the use of tampons, menstrual cups, and contraceptive diaphragm. It can begin after birth from vagina or cesarean section. Additionally, the TSS can occur when a cut or wound becomes infected, which can potentially lead to life-dreamed complications.

NIH recommends that if you are using tampons and you are feeling any of the following symptoms, immediately remove it:

High fever

Shivering, muscle pain

Vomiting and diarrhea

Pellet

Rough rash -rash -rash -rash can look red, which can be difficult to see on brown or black skin

The palms of your hands, the soles of the feet, the tongue and the white part of the eyes turns bright red

Skin -swelling

Feel

How to treat TSS? Although TSS is rare, some essential points mentioned by NIH to treat the disease are worth remembering:

Oxygen

Antibiotics to treat infection

Fluid to hydrate you again, usually through drip in your arm

Drugs

Surgery for infection with cuttings or wounds
