Are you in danger if a tampon has been in for two weeks right after your period was finished?

Yes a tampon should NEVER stay in longer than 6 hours. There is a illness called Toxic shock syndrome which is a serious bacterial infection. HOWEVER, if you removed the tampon and do not have fever, nausea, headache or difficulty breathing--you missed the bullet. Be more careful in the future.

∙ 10y agoYes, tampons pose multiple health risks including vaginal infections and Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) - the longer you wear a tampon the higher these risks because it gives bacteria longer to multiply without your vagina being able to clean itself. Also if you can go over 4-6 hours without leaking you're using too high an absorbency which increases damage to vaginal tissues that give TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into your bloodstream, thus also increasing TSS risks.
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours.

∙ 7y agoYes, there is a risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome and vaginal infections.
Tampons encourage bacterial growth while preventing vaginal cleaning so excessive bacterial growth can cause infection and TSS. Be sure to change tampons at least every 4-6 hours to reduce your risks.

TSS: TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME!
This is very bad to get and if left untreated can cause death. So you need to change your tampon often.

Is it safe to go into a hot tub when you're on your period?
Yes it is. If it is a public spa I would recommend wearing a tampon. Be sure to remove it right away once you get out of the hot tub.
Can a girl get pregnant right after her period is finished?
Yes, a woman can get pregnant directly after her period. Unless you want to get pregnant you should always use birth control.
Do you pee from were the tampon goes?
No, you urinate from the urethra and a tampon goes into the vagina.Both the vaginal opening and the urethral opening are right next to each other within the vestibule of the vulva, but they are not the same hole and it is not possible to insert a tampon into the urethra. A person can urinate as normal when they are wearing a tampon.
What can be the cause of abdominal pain experienced only while a tampon is inserted?

Can feel a stuck tampon in your stomach?
No. The tampon is right at the opening of the vaginal entrance - it can not reach your stomach. And even if it could it would be too small to feel. You have both ovaries and uterus and intestines but I bet you can't feel them. A tampon is smaller.

What happens to a first time tampon user?
Nothing happens to a first-time tampon user.A person uses tampons for the first time and that's it - using a tampon doesn't change a person in any way. As long as the user is relaxed and using tampons correctly they will simply insert the tampon and it will absorb flow just like it's supposed to. It's no different to any other time they use tampons.

When you insert a tampon does it go past the muscle and right in with the string hanging out or sights on the muscle with the end of the tampon visible?
The tampon goes all the way into the vaginal canal - if that's what you mean by the muscle, as the vaginal canal is essentially a muscular tube. The whole tampon goes into the vagina and quite deep, it wouldn't even be near the vaginal opening once it is inserted so certainly wouldn't hang out. All that hangs out is the tampon string for easy removal, that is if you use a tampon with a string.
What if i don't have a tampon in but it fells like i do?
If it is right after you have one in, or if you are new to using them it is normal to feel that way
Is it all right to take a bath without wearing a tampon when you have your period?
Yes, it's fine to take a bath on your period without using a tampon. If you don't use a tampon or other internal sanitary product like a menstrual cup or softcup then some menstrual blood may go into the bath water, most of the blood would be diluted by the water so you may not even notice, but even if you do it's only blood. The idea that menstrual flow is somehow dirty or gross is a very old-fashioned false idea, your menstrual flow is little different to the discharge that leaves your vagina throughout the rest of your menstrual cycle - you don't mind bathing any other time, right?
