Many women use tampons around the world to stop their menstrual cycles. However, there are many other women who experience problems with their tampons. They may suffer from yeast infections, BV or bladder infections. In severe cases, they could even develop toxic shock syndrome.
Always remove tampons as soon as possible. It is common to forget. In just 24 hours, a serious infection can take hold and spread to the blood.
Make sure you’re not allergic to the brand and type of tampons that you choose. This can cause repeated vaginal infections at the same time (and trigger an unusually heavy flow).
