What is TSS?

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a name given to a severe septicaemia condition (blood poisoning) caused by a retained tampon infection. Classically,' Toxic Shock Syndrome' was caused by retained tampons but may also be caused by other retained foreign bodies, such as forgotten pessaries or swabs. TSS occurs when toxins are released by bacteria that cause a severe body reaction. The association with tampons is when retained long enough in the vagina to allow high bacteria levels to grow.

Veganism During Pregnancy

Blood sugar balance (such as support for energy, mood and insulin levels), a wide variety of nutrients consumed, and lots of fiber to support digestion are the benefits of a healthy vegan diet. Ensuring that nutrient needs are met is challenging. Supplementation is essential to ensure adequate iron levels in addition to regular blood checks. A vegan diet can be low for a healthy pregnancy in three areas–protein, iron and omega 3.

The Importance of a Gynaecology Specialist

What should you ask your Gynaecologist in case of Hysterectomy



1. Why am I having hysterectomy?
It sounds clear, but it's not always clear. Ask your doctor to explain all the reasons for the surgery and what will happen if you don't have the surgery. Make sure that for the wrong 
reasons you are not being offered the hysterectomy. One example is a severe endometriosis hysterectomy. Rarely does hysterectomy respond to severe endometriosis.
