1. Harmful Chemicals in Products

• Synthetic Fragrances: Present in some pads, tampons, and vaginal washes, these chemicals can irritate sensitive tissues, leading to chronic inflammation.

• Dioxins and Furans: Used in the bleaching process of many conventional sanitary products, these chemicals have been linked to hormonal disruption, endometriosis, and fibrosis. Even low levels can accumulate in the body over time.

• Pesticide Residues: Conventional cotton products may contain pesticide residues, which can exacerbate inflammation in the pelvic area.

• Phthalates and BPA: Found in plastic applicators and packaging, these endocrine disruptors interfere with hormonal balance and may contribute to fibrosis.

2. Chronic Inflammation and Immune Response

• Prolonged exposure to irritants in these products can trigger immune responses, leading to persistent inflammation in the pelvic region, which is a precursor to fibrosis.

3. Microbial Imbalance

• Non-breathable, synthetic materials in some sanitary products can foster bacterial growth, leading to infections like bacterial vaginosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Recurring infections may increase the risk of fibrosis or PCI.

4. Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) and Tampon Use

• Overuse of tampons, especially superabsorbent ones, can lead to TSS, a condition associated with systemic inflammation and complications affecting the pelvic cavity.

5. Long-term Hormonal Impacts

• Endocrine-disrupting chemicals in products can cause hormonal imbalances, which indirectly raise the risk of uterine fibroids and other fibrosis-related conditions.
