Tampon Nightmare!!!!!!!!!?!
Question: Tampon Nightmare!!!!!!!!!.?
Ok so I know this is really gross...but I need advice. I just realized that I had left a tampon for about two days. I had a really foul odor and cramping, then I found the culprit. I am just so humilited to see a doctor, am I overreacting.? Should I just wait it out and see if I am okay.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I would call the doctor's office and make sure he doesnt want to just check it out. There is something called Toxic Shock Syndrome, that you can get from leaving a foreign object in your body for a long period of time. Even though two days is not that long, the cramping part bothers me. I would advise you to at least call the doctor. It happens a lot more than you think! I know people who have left tampons in by accident for over two weeks, because the string got lost and they forgot they had one in. Good luck.

I went to the hospital once for a bladder problem and they were convinced I had left a tampon in. That was not the case but the e.r. staff was very respectful and says it happens quite often. I would call your doctor to make sure and see if he wants to see you. The doctor has seen this many times before and you should not be embarrassed.Health Question & Answer
They're not supposed to be in for more than 8 hours, and even that's pushing it! You should definitely see your gynecologist- it might be a little embarrassing, but it's better than ending up with a serious health issue that could have been prevented, or helped had you seen her/him sooner.Health Question & Answer
Are you kidding.? You are embarrassed to go see a doctor.? You think this is the worst that they see.? Trust me it's not! You need to think about YOURSELF and your health---GO GET CHECKED OUT!!! You might have an infection---it's REALLY bad for it to be in there that long!
