Answers:
No you won't!. As long as you did notice it and took it out!. You'll should be fine!.

This is actually a common problem, believe it or not!. Especially with women who have heavy cycles!. A woman's body will actually gradually push it out if left in without another obstruction, like another tampon!. But there have been some cases that did not happen and the doctor had to remove it!. They give them antibiotics to kill any bacteria that may have grown!. Moist, dark and warm places idea for bacteria!. Especially if you forget one for days!.

If you notice a discharged or smell a few days after your cycle has ended try a vinegar and filtered water douche, if that doesn't work don't be afraid to go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tampons should be changed every 8 hours to prevent the remote possibility of toxic shock syndrome!. This is where the bacteria build up in the vagina and the person can become acutely ill!. These bacteria do not need much oxygen and the tampon actually helps them out!. So remove the old one and you will be okay!. Some women use two and this is okay!. It is more about the time rather than the amount!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'm assuming once you noticed you took the old one out!?

you're not the first one to do this, and TSS is rare (i'm assuming this is what you're worried about!?)

take your temperature - if you have a fever, head to the hospital and tell them about the tampons

otherwise you're probably okWww@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't worry too much hey!. 8hrs is't that long!. I wouldn't advise using 2 at once, but it shouldn't cause any problems!.

But if u start feeling sore or irritated, go to the doc and get it checked, but I would suggest that regardless of you situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can get sick

were you able to get the first one out!? if you were then you will be 100% fine!.

even if you are in a hurry, check

and also if you didnt get it and you still cant, go to your doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com

No worries, I have done the same thing a couple times when I was totally stressed out and super busy!. I left it in about the same time as you did!. As long as you feel fine (no fever, nausea), you don't have to worry!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, actually you can keep multiple tampons up there!. Imagine it like chambers in a pistol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You shouldn't, just pay attention and if you start to feel unwell, call your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
