toxic shock syndrome?
ok so i am on my period and i have been using tampons a lot but not for over 8 hours. my vaginal area got really red and started to itch really bad like non stop and i'm worried that maybe i have tss? i looked up the symptoms and i'm not sure if i am them because i am sore but that is normal cause i'm a dancer. and i do get light headed sometimes but that is also normal for me because i have low blood pressure... so really nothing feels out of the ordinary for me other than the itching and its very uncomfortable and i'm just wondering what it might be? so please if you have an idea let me know because i'm really scared!

Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
it sounds like a yeast infection. i had one once, and they were literally horrible. it was very red, and extremely itchy. it was so itchy that i didnt even notice i was itching because it became a habit. you should really just go to your usual doctor, but if its urgent buy monistat the 3 day kit.i bought it without going to the doctors and everything went fine. if you didnt already know, monistat is somewhat like a tampon except you dont actually leave it in your vagina, its a tube of cream/medication that you stick up your vagina right before you go to bed and pull out. make sure to wear a pad after because a lot of the excess cream will come out. the first night you do it, it may be evem itchier but trust me keep doing the medication, it will get better. if you have any more questions, you can always ask
hope i helped :]

Make an appt. for the gyno. None of us are doctors & if you think that it is TSS, that can be a major problem & the sooner you find out the better. Here's a website-

If you don't have any of those signs & symptoms, then don't worry about it. Give it a few days or make the appt. anyway just incase.
-hope that helped!♥
