i would just like to say that i also had a foul odour and brown discharge it wasn't until i read this and seen about the tampon thing, it turned out that i inserted a tampon on Tues and had sex that night and also the next morning and then again on Friday and Saturday not knowing i left the tampon in for 5days.So you can imagine how foul smelling i was,after sex my husband said to me why does your vagina smell sooo bad.I felt embarrassed and humiliated.But when i read this i had to go see for myself,and yes i put my 3fingers up my vagina and sure enough i pulled it out.What a relief to know that's all it wasThank God.sincerely Sandy Kusi
Ohh my gosh I'm having the exact symptoms at this very moment.it's awful I'm so uncomfortable with myself , Sex has been Something I definitely don't consider my husband is very much honest and it is "Sooo embarrassing". I just want to hide from everyone I've had a regular check up " All is always Negative " . I have tried using tampons , But I have never been comfortable with them so for the most part I've usually used pads this is such a terrible experience ladies.
Maybe you have a forgoten tampon inside of you go to the doctor of try to find it with your clean fingers, it happened to me and it could be dangerous, good luck. If you know what happened now please let me know how you are now
Try to check yourself up with a Ob-gyn. I know exactly how you feel. It's very stressful.
If you have not gotten this problem solved by now. If you're using tampons. Maybe the tampon is stuck and you should seek your ob/gynecologist.
I seriously want to thank every person that commented on here and the girl who made this post. I was having the same symptoms and could not figure out what was wrong with me. I have had bacterial infections before and I knew that wasn't it.. I treated myself for it anyway but then I searched the actual smell and read all your comments then I started looking for a tampon and that's what it was!! Omg thank you girls so much. I am so glad I didn't get tss.
