possible vaginitis
I'm pretty sure I removed my tampon on my last day of my period (it was a very light day) but noe I'm starting to have a slight odorous discharge. I searched for the tampon, didnt find it but found lots of white substance. I want to treat it with over the counter meds, but what if it truly is a tampon still there?
Sounds like you could have a yeast infection (thrush). All you need to do is get an over the counter treatment from the pharmacy. You can get something like a cream (Canesten, Monistat) or you can get fluconazole (Diflucan) which is a tablet. The tablet takes a little longer to work as it needs to get into your bloodstream first. The cream gives you relief faster.
