Re: Toxic ShockFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Thu Mar 25 09:29:33 2004
The only way a woman can completely help prevent TSS is by not using tampons at all. However even a woman who has had TSS before can decrease the risk of recurrence by: . not using super-absorbent tampons . wearing each tampon no longer than 4 hours, especially the highly absorbent types . when menstrual flow is heaviest, using sanitary pads instead of tampons every other day . using less absorbent tampons if the type of tampon you have been using is irritating or hard to remove . wearing sanitary pads during sleep to allow any irritation from tampon use to heal. Taking birth control pills can also lower the chance of having TSS. Ronald E.

I've never been aware of that. I'm interested in your opinions. Thanks Larry Glazerman MD FACOG

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
