Had sex with a tampon in & forgot to removed it 12 days later. no pain, no itching, no discolored discharge, theres a slight smell. how can i clean it out? how do i know if i have an infection or not? will it balance next period?

The odor means overgrowth of bacteria, i.e. infection -- which always occurs when tampon stay in place this long. Simply removing the tampon is all you need to do. Your vagina's self-cleansing physiology will balance things over the next few dqys. If you still have odor and discharge after your next period, see your doctor to be on the safe side. But probably all will be well by then.
