Is Toxic Shock Syndrome Sneaking Up on You? The Shocking Signs You Can’t Ignore (And How to Stay Safe)
Menstruating women are most at risk for TSS, but fortunately, you can take steps to lower your risk of menstrual TSS.
1. Avoid highly absorbent tampons
Your tampon use should always depend on your flow. You may gravitate toward high-absorbency tampons to avoid a leak, but this significantly increases your risk of TSS. Instead, change your tampons more often on days when your flow is heavier. Don’t get discouraged if you’re having trouble figuring out which absorbency to use. It may take some trial and error, but feel free to reach out to your women’s health specialist for help.
