Yes, it would be a good idea to see a doctor after a tampon has been left this long. Tampons in general are a major cause of vaginal infections, having left a tampon for so long this would have had a major impact on vaginal flora. It is possible to be fine after this but it is a good idea to see your doctor to test for possible infections, not everyone can tell when they have an infection.

If you have a Pap smear can a doctor see if you have a tampon inside you?

If you have a tampon in your vagina, your health care provider would have noticed it during your pap smear.


What if the doctor did not find the lost tampon inside of you?

If the emergency room doctor did an effective speculum exam, then the doctor w2ould not be able to miss a tampon in your vagina. There is nowhere else a tampon can go; the vagina is a dead end. But removal of a lost tampon is not a reason for an emergency room visit. Next time, see your regular health care provider or your local family planning agency. They are better able to provide this kind of care. Routine GYN care is not what emergency rooms are for, and not their specialty.


What if your tampon splits inside and the other doesnt come out?

If your tampon tears - which rarely happens - then all you need to do is insert your fingers vaginally to remove the rest of the tampon. If it's just a small bit of tampon the vagina may clean it out itself, but otherwise you should go to your doctor to remove whatever is left if you can't remove it yourself.


Can a saturated tampon fall out on its own?

I had a tampon in and forgot to remove it when I went to bed. I have a heavy flow during the beginning of menstruation and when I went to the bathroom I thought I felt it fall out on its own, but when I looked in the toilet it was too red to see the tampon. I have checked twice and I cannot feel it inside me, is it safe to use another tampon?


What happens if i forgot a tampon inside of me and put another one in but didn't realize it how would i get it out?

You would simply remove the tampon as you would normally. Your vagina is not a bottomless pit, the tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal. Just remove as you would normally and don't use another tampon for at LEAST 8 hours to allow your vagina time to clean itself.


When a women has just changed and has to urinate right after that should she change her tampon again?

No, not neccessary. The tampon should be inside, beyond the urethra and not be affected, only the string and that should be OK for the next few hours.


Can a tampon get stuck inside you on its own accord or does it have to be pushed somehow?

Tampons can't get stuck inside you. Tampons can go no further than your vaginal canal, this is because at the top of the vaginal canal is the cervix (opening to the uterus) and a tampon cannot pass through this. As long as you relax and you're using tampons correctly you can remove a tampon - if you struggle then you'd need to see your doctor for help to remove the tampon.


Should you wear a tampon to a sports physical?

No you shd wear a pad so when the doctor has to look down there you don't have to pull it out and be left with nothing for you period the rest of the time. Unless you bring another tampon for after your doctor looks at your vagina.


What do you do if your tampon gets stuck inside of you?

Well the tampon can not actually get stuck inside of you but if you mean inside the vagina, you just need to togg at it abit and it will come out. Just relax and don't panic. I would recommend using small ones at the start then larger ones as you grow! x


Can a tampon go far enough inside that you cant get out after having intercourse?

No, a tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal. If you struggle to find the tampon then squat and push down to force it down closer to the vaginal canal to make it easier to reach, if you still can't remove it then see your doctor.


If you squeeze your muscles should you feel the tampon inside you?

You may, particularly if it's large or has been in for a while. If you feel discomfort when sque3ezing your muscles, the tampon probably isn't in far enough.


If there is a tampon stuck inside can your husband get it out?
