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.

∙ 8y agoIf the doctor did not find a tampon inside your vagina then that's because there is no tampon inside your vagina. The vaginal canal is only a few inches in length and the cervix at the top stops the tampon from going any further into your vagina. The doctors look for the tampon by inserting a speculum so that they can see inside your vagina, there's nowhere for the tampon to hide.

How can i get a tampon removed that's lost inside me with out having to go to the doctor?
Well it's somewhere in your vagina because there's nowhere else for it to possibly go, so you can try to find it yourself by sticking your fingers up your vagina and seeing if you can pull it out that way. But if that doesn't work you'll probably have to go to the doctor.

If you lose a tampon inside of you will you still bleed?
It is not possible to completely "lose" a tampon inside yourself.Your vagina can only go so deep, then there is a wall with a very small opening that only stretches when it's time to give birth called the cervix. This wall actually protects your body from that very accident, and from any other foreign bodies entering your innards that shouldn't be there.However, the string of a tampon can break from the tampon, thus making you believe that it can be lost inside of you completely. Never fear, though, it can be retrieved. If you are unable to get it yourself, you must see your OB/GYN or the ER immediately because leaving it inside for too long can cause a bacterial growth or TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). It might be embarrassing, but it's imperative. They will be able to remove it.

How can you tell if you lost a tampon inside you?
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.
Is it normal to have a dark red discharge after a lost tampon has been removed and antibiotics are started?
The dark red discharge may be blood left behind by the tampon which is now being allowed to flush out of your vagina. If you're taking antibiotics you should be fine, although you are at risk of developing a yeast infection when taking antibiotics which may effect discharge. If concerned then see your doctor again, it's a good idea to do this after the antibiotics too to ensure everything is okay.

How do you take out tampons?
Just pull the string until it slides out. Each type of tampon comes with instructions that are important to read. The tampons have strings that are attached, and once the tampon is inserted properly, the strings stay where they can be reached with your fingers and used to gently pull out the used tampon. Read the instructions on the type you are using to be sure you are following all important instructions. If the strings are not where you can reach them, the tampon may have turned sideways which can happen with strenuous exercise, or may have lost the attachment to the string. In those situations, you may have to see a gynecological doctor to have it removed safely.
