Can Menstrual Sponges Cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?
While rare, there is a risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) associated with all intravaginal devices, including menstrual sponges. It is crucial to follow proper hygiene practices and not leave the sponge in for more than 8 hours to reduce the risk of TSS. If you experience symptoms such as sudden fever, rash, or low blood pressure, seek medical attention immediately.
