Oh my gosh. This feed saved my life! I also just discovered a lost tampon after struggling for a WEEK with the smelliest and most awful discharge ever! I didn't think I left one up there but omg I guess I did! I owe you!
She was so right it is a lost tampon !!! Check for it
Ladies! I have just found the cause if what ive thought for weeks was bv. I did all the things on here, spent a couple hundred dollars on vitamins, hours researching, the horrible odor had gone away but came back. I started douching with a vengeance(peroxide) then brown almost tan tissue like stuff started ciming out when i douched! Scary. Started reading that maybe it was the bad bacteria coming out. Then watched a video on how to check yourself for a LOST TAMPON! I thought there was no way i could check myself with my short fingers but if u can!!! It was a little tricky but felt around and thats what it was!! Once i touched it and pulled on it i was certain it had to be it. It was sideways and no string. It took a little bit to tug it out and this may be gross but what finally worked for me was to stick my nail into it and pull. Mine was not black from blood but i realized that was prob bc all the crazy douching i had been doing! Nonetheless it was the source of the problem! I never post on things like this but as horrible as that odor and discharge etc experience was, i felt i had to share! And im telling u, u really dont have to go to doc, unless maybe to make sure it hasnt caused tss. If u sit on the toilet, first slowly insert CLEAN finger as far as u can, feel around, then bear down like u are pushing out a baby or whatever and continue feeling around. You may have to use a sweeping motion or like i did and claw finger it. Its almost unmistakeable because it wont feel like part of your body. If u havent douched it will probanly be dark n smell rank im guessing. I was very skeptical bc had already had sex several times since any tampon could have gotten stuck n thought if there us one up there theres no way i'll get it out but as we all know this stuff is so awful we'll try nearly anything and i couldnt believe how easy it was
you need to follow up with your doctor!
