Can a tampon cause a yeast infection? or another type of infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TEMPONS CAN CAUSE: Tempons are known to cause bacterial infections if kept too long and toxic shock syndrome, which is not so common and is rather rare, and if you use deodorised or scented tempons it increses the risk of yeast infection.
