    Question

    i wear a tampon all day everyday to stop the heavy discharge and smell. should i not do that? it's the only thing that works for me because the panty liners just irritate me down there. what should i do?

    Answer

    Not a good idea to wear a tampon every day - please talk to your doctor instead about the discharge - and any possibility that you have a sexually transmitted infection.
