tampon emergency
I have had a tampon lost since for a week inside of me, I wasn't sure it was still there until my period ended on monday, but now I have this discomfort in my lower regions, it is now becoming unbearable. It has been the last 2 days accompanied with a sharp pain . I've tried to check for the tampon several times but have not felt it or the string . I waited a week because tampons usually come out of me even when I don't want them to right away but this one feels like its lodged in my uterus is that possible?
See a doctor immediately. Leaving a tampon in there forthis length of time can cause a serious bacterial infection which can lead to toxic shock, as you are complaining of pain it is highly advisable that you seek medical help straight away.
