A vaginal infection as a result of tampon use is no different from any other vaginal infection, most commonly tampons cause bacterial vaginosis which symptoms include a fishy odour and excessive watery discharge.
When inserted correctly, you are unable to feel it. Inserted incorrectly and it can be very uncomfortable.
If you can't remove a tampon yourself then you can ask a friend or family member to help you. If you still cannot remove the tampon then yes, you go have to go to a doctor like your gynecologist to remove the tampon or else you risk serious health problems like TSS or severe vaginal infection.
You can get toxic shock syndrome.
If it is right after you have one in, or if you are new to using them it is normal to feel that way
No. The tampon is right at the opening of the vaginal entrance - it can not reach your stomach. And even if it could it would be too small to feel. You have both ovaries and uterus and intestines but I bet you can't feel them. A tampon is smaller.
If you can feel the tampon of feel uncomfortable once you have closed your legs then the likelihood is that the tampon isn't inserted high enough. The first few inches of your vaginal canal are narrower than further-up in the vagina, if not inserted far enough the tampon will sit in this area and as the vaginal muscles push together they would push against the tampon. This area also has more nerve endings so even if there is no discomfort you are still more likely to feel the tampon if it's here.
Most of the time, women who think they've lost a tampon have not. If you aren't sure, squat down and put one finger in your vagina as you bear down. You'll feel the cervix, with a texture like your nose, at the end of your vagina. Feel around the outside of the cervix (like drawing a circle with your finger around your nose). Do you feel a tampon? if not, there's probably not one there. If you're still not convinced, see your health care provider or your local family planning agency. They can reassure you in a matter of minutes.
You must be a very flexible woman. If you feel like you can do a good speculum exam and can't see the tampon, you're ok. You can also check with your fingers. If you don't feel the tampon in the cul de sac, it's not there.
No.
I wouldn't recommend a tampon because of the risk of infection. However, using a menstrual cup should be fine!
Not really. There are time if not using a tampon that if you cough or laugh or stand from sitting it can feel like its streaming out but you will be having a heavy period for this to happen, so in a way, like a peeing feeling but not from the area where pee comes from. If you go through this and dont want to use a pad a tampon will help in not feeling this gushing feeling.
Yes, a man would know if you have a tampon in when he inserts his fingers into your vagina. He would be able to feel the tampon inside the vagina.
