The more absorbent a synthetic tampon, the greater the risk of SCT (toxic shock syndrome).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">How can using a tampon become dangerous and lead to TSS?<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">The tampon allows a certain variety of staphylococcus aureus, of which some women are carriers, to develop: the menstrual flow is blocked in the vagina by the tampon, and if staphylococcus aureus was already present in the vagina, it will use the menstrual flow as a culture medium. 20 to 30 % of women are staphylococcus aureus carriers. This leads to a proliferation of staphylococcus aureus in the vagina. In these colonies, the blood is destroyed by the bacteria, which produce toxins. These toxins pass into the bloodstream, activating the immune system on a massive scale, leading to hypotension, shock, fever, skin rash... and even generalized infection, which can be fatal if not treated in time.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">What are the first signs of menstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS)?<\/span>): Sudden exhaustion, high fever, flu-like symptoms or gastro. These signs can appear after wearing a tampon.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_39k5 _5s6c\">\n<h2 class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">But what else?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Tampons are also suspected of being one of the causes of endometriosis (partly because of the presence of dioxins, but also because of their obstructive effect).<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Studies show that the more a woman uses tampons, the more exposed she is to endometriosis. The link is due in particular to the obstruction of the vagina during menstruation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">As blood is supposed to be evacuated, when wearing a tampon, blood can flow upwards and reach the abdomen, causing severe pain. The presence of endocrine disruptors can also be the cause of hormonal imbalances and other pathologies.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">What's more, the accumulation of dioxin in a woman's body month after month is a real problem: as the vaginal mucosa is highly permeable, this molecule is very likely to be assimilated by the vagina. Each tampon represents an additional dose of dioxin in the body, up to 10 per period, repeated 28 days later. What are the real consequences?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Finally, the presence of DEHP, a phthalate, increases the risk of infertility. The higher the phthalate level during the follicular (estrogenic) development period, the greater the risk of miscarriage. For some women, the menstrual period is already a period of follicular development preceding ovulation. The quality of the ovum will therefore be affected if it matures while wearing a tampon. This can lead to miscarriages and infertile cycles.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">My advice to avoid risks<\/span>\u00a0:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">* Don't wear tampons, women can use cups, pads, or practice instinctive free-flow.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">* Otherwise choose a buffer with a\u00a0<span class=\"_4yxo\">minimum absorption level<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">* Prefer pads made of\u00a0<span class=\"_4yxo\">cotton<\/span>Synthetic materials promote the proliferation of staphylococcus aureus.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">* Use brand names\u00a0<span class=\"_4yxo\">biological<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">* Change pads as often as possible<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Want to find out more?
