Will poop in the vagina cause infection?
So I had some bad Indian food that caused some really sudden diarrhoea. Really sudden diarrhoea plus being stuck in traffic - I'm sure you can figure out what happened next.
The faeces were very liquid and some seems to have gotten right up in my vagina. I thought I had cleaned myself up properly, but about 2 hours later I went to the bathroom again and realised that there is still liquid poop in my actual vagina.
I don't know how to get it out, and I don't know if it will cause an infection or something.

It's something to avoid, definitely. (For example, women having anal sex are cautioned not to let the penis into the vagina after it has been in the rectum for this same reason.) But the vagina is a self-cleaning location. If you allow its natural juices to drain down, and wash your genital area on the outside (don't douche, since you might accidentally push the diarrhoea further up inside you with the douche liquid), you might squeak through this. If your area begins to get sore or irritated, see a doctor.
