A member asked:
I accidentally left a tampon in for 4 days on last day of period? its out now but will i get poorly from it having been there for 4 days?

Probably not: Tampons are a leading cause of toxic shock syndrome in females if left in for a long period of time. If you have no foul discharge or smell and are not currently running a fever or feeling sick you are likely to be ok. If you have any symptoms dee a doctor asap.
