Tampons
I am 36 and I recently discovered that I left my tampon in from last months period. I am FREAKING out right now because I have not had the usual pre-period sounds coming from my abdomen section yet, and I have only developed a horrible odor in the last 3 days. No other symptoms. What should I do?????????????
you might have an infection, hence, the odor. You should definitely go to the doctor as soon as possible! A doctor can give you antibiotics to kill any kind of infection you may have developed. Be more careful next time. You will be okay!
actually this is a fairly common post on this site. It happens more often then you would think. I think your post was very insensitive
snowbunny36- know that this has happened to other women as well, you DO need to go to the Dr ASAP!!!!!!! They'll probably give you antibioditics as you're likely to have an infection

first of all, tell me this is a joke. If not you need to go to hospital asap...... not even asap......NOW................ not only is this dangerous... but its nasty... how in the world could you forget that? and for so long? the odor? this could be bacteria ....are you crazy ??it states on the box not to have them in longer than 8 hours........i still cant believe this you must be joshin us? no? and contrary to what the previous person said....you are not alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go to the hospital ...............i just cant believe this and your 36? come on. sorry if this response seems insensitive and harsh but come on if you read this post from someone else what would you say?
you might get very very sick! tss! thats why i reomened going to the hospital, but then again i thought tss effects you fairly quickly and isnt a gradual thing so who knows
You are probably going to be fine. It is just something to stress you out so your mind is playing tricks on you and holding back your usual monthly routines. However, I would go see my doctor or at least call him and see what he says.
