Yesterday, my flow was pretty heavy, so this morning I put in a tampon and went off to school. It felt uncomfortable, and when I went to take it out, it hurt really bad then when it came out, it was almost completley white, with very little blood. It burned to take it out, and ever since then, I've felt sore down there.

Notso answered Monday May 15 2006, 8:28 pm: there's nothing wrong, it just hurts because it was dry.
However, if you experience (and this is directly from the information sheet with my tampons) a sudden high fever, vomitting, diarrhea, sunburn like rash, dizziness, muscle aches or fainting, you may have toxic shock syndrome. It's really rare, though, so don't worry too much. 17/100,000 girls who use tampons get it a year, and it's treatable so don't stress. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]
Teza answered Monday May 15 2006, 8:14 pm: There isn't anything wrong but you defenetlly put it in wrong. You didn't put it in all the way so of course is was uncomftrable and white. Next time just make sure you put it all the way in and that you're comftrable before you leave. You'll be fine and you won't be sore for long. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
