In those who get the bacterial infection from tampons or menstrual cups, symptoms usually appear in three to five days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience any symptoms we discuss below after surgery, injury, or after using tampons\/menstrual cups, seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-does-a-tampon-have-to-be-in-to-get-tss\">How long does a tampon have to be in to get TSS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended that you leave a tampon in your vagina for no longer than eight hours. This does not mean that anyone who uses a tampon for more than eight hours will get TSS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4556184\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">studies<\/a> have shown that prolonged use of tampons predisposes one to TSS because it promotes the growth and invasion of toxic bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-signs-of-toxic-shock-syndrome-tss\">Signs of toxic shock syndrome (TSS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Signs and symptoms of TSS vary depending on the type of bacteria causing the infection. It often starts with flu-like symptoms, which quickly progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, signs and symptoms of TSS include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sudden high temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle soreness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea and\/or vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A rash that looks like a serious sunburn and feels rough like sandpaper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weakness\/dizziness (these occur because of low blood pressure)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reddened eyes, nose, and throat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confusion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slurred speech<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Convulsions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shortness of breath<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peeling skin on the soles and palms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In babies or young children who cannot communicate what they are feeling, you may notice signs like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficulty breathing or fast breathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bluish, grey, or pale skin or lips. In children with darker skin tones, this may be easier to see on the palms or the soles of the feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reddish dots or a rash that does not fade away when you press and roll a transparent glass cup over it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crying more than usual<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weak, high-pitched cry that&#8217;s different from their usual cry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refusal to feed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being less active and uninterested in their normal activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being sleepier than usual<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-tss\">What causes TSS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TSS can be caused by the following strains of bacteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus or staph)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/strep-throat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Streptococcus<\/a> pyogenes (S. pyogenes or group A strep)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clostridium sordellii (C. sordellii)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>TSS can affect people of any age and sex because the bacteria can gain access to the bloodstream in various ways. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use of tampons and menstrual cups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use of contraceptive diaphragms or caps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Injuries from childbirth (both vaginal and Caesarean section)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infected wounds, cuts, boils or burns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infected surgical incisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-if-you-think-you-have-tss\">What to do if you think you have TSS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect that you or a loved one has TSS, seek medical care immediately. If you get symptoms while using a tampon, menstrual cup, etc., you need to remove it as soon as possible and inform your doctor about what you were using when the symptoms started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TSS progresses rapidly and can quickly lead to death. But, there can be good outcomes if it is discovered and treated early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-toxic-shock-syndrome-treatments\">Toxic shock syndrome treatments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TSS is not a condition that can be treated at home. You\u2019ll need to be admitted to a hospital where, depending on your condition, you\u2019ll receive interventions such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Intravenous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/natural-antibiotics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">antibiotics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intravenous fluids to replace fluids you lost and improve your blood pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medications to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/general-health\/how-to-raise-blood-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bring up your blood pressure<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oxygen therapy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surgical procedures to remove infected tissues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-life-after-toxic-shock-syndrome\">Life after toxic shock syndrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve experienced TSS and recovered, you should know that the condition is more likely to recur in people who&#8217;ve already had it. So, taking steps to prevent a recurrence is crucial. We discuss some preventive measures below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;ve recovered from TSS, it is best to completely avoid using tampons, menstrual caps, etc. If you do use these devices, some ways to prevent TSS include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wash your hands with soap and follow the instructions on the label before insertion and removal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get tampons with the lowest absorbency you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never leave tampons in for more than eight hours. While sleeping, you can use menstrual pads instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash menstrual cups thoroughly after each use, and don\u2019t leave them in for longer than recommended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t leave contraceptive caps and diaphragms in place for more than 30 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a cut, burn, scrape, or some other type of wound, keep it clean. Watch out for signs of infection like a rash, swelling, and increasing pain around the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rapidly progressing and potentially fatal condition that occurs when certain strains of bacteria get into the bloodstream and release toxins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Clostridium sordellii.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can gain access to your bloodstream in various ways, including prolonged use of tampons\/menstrual cups and through cuts or other wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to recover from TSS if it is diagnosed and treated early. If you suspect that you or a person you love has TSS, you should seek medical attention immediately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to remove the source of infection and start treatment as soon as possible. Treatment may include IV antibiotics, fluids, and surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a high chance of TSS recurring in someone who has had it before, so taking preventive measures is important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include following packaging instructions when using tampons, menstrual cups, contraceptive caps, and diaphragms and keeping wounds clean.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a potentially fatal condition that occurs after certain bacteria get into your bloodstream and release dangerous toxins.&nbsp;&nbsp; TSS can progress very quickly and affect various organs, including your kidneys, heart, liver, and lungs.&nbsp; Because of how potentially fatal it is and how quickly it progresses, TSS requires prompt medical attention.&nbsp;&nbsp; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":41229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"health_topic":[126,157],"class_list":["post-41228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","health_topic-hormone-health","health_topic-sexual-disorders"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How Soon Do Toxic Shock Syndrome Symptoms Appear?
