A small piece of a tampon stuck inside ?
I got a small piece of tampon stuck inside. When I took it out, I realize the top part was missing. What should I do?
About a month ago, i had my period and i used a tampon. Ive been having weird odor & discharge coming out. I just went to the bathroom to pee, the odor was horrible and after i wiped myself & there was a piece of the tampon. Now that its out, can i get sick? & will the odor & discharge stop?? Should i douche myself just incase?
Hello Arepita2008.
I have had this happen, and it can be scary. All you need to do is locate it using your fingers. You need to remove this lost piece, since the vaginal area is susceptible to infections from foreign objects. If left inside, syndromes such as Toxic Shock can occur. If you are unable to remove the lost piece, please see your doctor immediately, or as a last resort see a doctor or nurse in your local emergency department. The problem is not an emergency, but removing it is a must. If you have someone that can help you that you trust, you can also do that, but please ensure that who ever attempts to remove it has clean hands. There is no reason to introduce more bacteria into the situation.
If you wish, you can message me directly.
In addition to anything I have mentioned, please keep in mind, that while I or others may have extensive knowledge in many areas, you should always seek professional medical advice from your own physician, as it pertains to medical conditions or concerns.
Good luck, and if you have any other questions that I can help you with, please feel free to message me directly.
