Best Answer

Tampons shouldn't be used with a vaginal infection.

Tampons are a major contributing cause of vaginal infections as they prevent vaginal cleaning and encouarge harmful bacterial growth - if you already have a vaginal infection tampon use could make this worse or put you at higher risk of other infections. Thrush can also damage or irritate vaginal tissues, damaged vaginal tissues give TSST-1 toxins a more direct route into your body so putting you at higher risk of TSS.

Many women also mistake abnormal vaginal discharge with vaginal infections such as thrush, however unusual discharge may be a sign of having bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pyogenes present, which poses risk of TSS.
