Help please? i want to know what are the do's and don't's during menstruation/their period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biggest "don't": Failure to change tampons (or pads) frequently. Tampons left in place for extended periods of time can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome and death from bacterial overgrowth on the tampon.
