The use of vaginal tampons during menstruation may be associated with the proliferation of bacteria on their uneven surface, unless the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer are followed. A healthy young woman presented with a false aneurysm of infectious origin, caused by Staphylococcus aureus, in connection with the use of vaginal tampons. The aneurysm manifested after the menstruation when tampons were used and during which the patient experienced an untreated feverish epizode. Vaginal colonies of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are present in nearly 40% of healthy menstruating women. Staphylococcal septicemia with the subsequent appearance of an arterial infected false aneurysm in a formerly healthy woman has not yet been described in relation to the use of vaginal tampons.
月经期间使用阴道棉条可能会因其表面不平整而导致细菌滋生，除非遵循制造商提供的使用说明。一名健康的年轻女性因使用阴道棉条出现了由金黄色葡萄球菌引起的感染性假性动脉瘤。该动脉瘤在使用棉条的月经期间出现，在此期间患者经历了一次未经治疗的发热发作。近40%的健康经期女性阴道中存在链球菌和葡萄球菌菌落。关于使用阴道棉条导致原本健康的女性发生葡萄球菌败血症并随后出现动脉感染性假性动脉瘤的情况尚未见报道。
