Should I Be Concerned For The Tampon That Had Left For Almost 10 Days?
So I am a new mom, had a preemie born on November 24th. I got my period in January and have had regular periods since. Things are so crazy with my son. He has dr apts constantly now that we are home from the NICU. I just realized some spotting and was concerned. While in the shower I examined myself and realized there was a tampon inside me, i immediately attempted to get it out. After getting it out I started freaking out. It s been a week and a half! I have never worn a tampon for more than 3 hours. I feel fine, should I call my dr or do you think i should be ok?

Hi,
Tampon for 10 days. High chance of getting infected by staph aureus. Get yourself properly examined by a GP.
