Tampon

by alleb, Apr 29, 2009 01:14AM
I had completely forgotten that i was wearing a tampon and had sex. The next morning i ran to the bathroom to take it off, but the string was no where to be found? The day after that i had to pee really bad to where i could barely make it to the bathroom. I do not know what to reference it to so maybe someone could help me. Now every time i pee i get this weird feeling inside my vagina as i finish peeing. I went to walgreens to get a UTI home kit, which says i do not have an infection. Could it be because i held it too long or because of the tampon? I can not afford going to the doctors due to no insurance.

you never mention having even taken your tampon out. you had sex. the next morning coulnt find the string, the next day you were having trouble peeing.
you need to be worried about tss not so much a uti, if that tampon is still left in there

That tampon needs to come out.  You are at risk of toxic shock.  If you squat you may be able to pull it out yourself, otherwise you need to go to your doctor or ED and get it pulled out.

Do not go to the ER for a stuck tampon, unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars on something you CAN get it out yourself. Squat, bear down and reach up, the vagina is not that deep, you WILL be able to get it out.
