Can a lost tampon make me ill?

Question - (9 October 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 12 October 2009)
A female Canada age 36-40, anonymous writes:

On Tuesday my b/f and I had sex and there was a really bad odor. My b/f didn't say anything because he is too polite, but it was definitely coming from my vagina. So after he left I used a douche.

Yesterday we had sex again and the smell came back. This time when he pulled out there appeared to be dried blood on his penis.

He asked me if I was getting my period, and I said no because I had it last week.

After he left, I used my finger and found the partial remains of a tampon left up inside of me. So I douched again. And all seems okay now. No odor.

Could I have gotten an infection from that? Have any other girls had that same experience? Thanks

Thanks for your advice. I went to my doctor and I checked out okay. She said it does happen from time to time and that I should be more dilligent. This is a first for me though. I'm glad i went to the doctor for the peace of mind.

It is now Thursday and you have had a tampon left inside you sometime before Tuesday.

Go to a walk in clinic tonight and get it removed. Don't be embarassed, doctors see this pretty often where women forget their tampons and after sex or what ever the string to pull it out is lost.

Leaving it in there is extremely dangerous, you can get Toxic Shock which can be deadly....so get it out of there, now.

You need to be very careful and not forget tampons. You could get a very bad infection and even toxic shock. Never leave a tampon inserted overnight. Change tampons frequently, at least every 4-6 hours.
