What should you do if you have the urge to pee all the time possibly because you left a tampon in for too long?

A feeling of needing to urinate more frequently has nothing to do with leaving a tampon in your vagina - leaving a tampon in too long can cause vaginal infections, but not urethral infections. If you suspect that you have left a tampon in feel around the vaginal canal to check, if still unsure you need to see your doctor for them to check. If you suspect you have a urinary tract infection (which would explain your needing to urinate more frequently) then you need to see your doctor for this too.

What to do if having to go to the bathroom constantly and possibly because of a tampon left in for too long?
See your doctor. Don't fool around with this problem.
Should a razor scooter be left on while charging?
no they should not because you could possibly get hurt with it still on.
Should i get checked out i don't know how long my tampon was in?
Whether you need to get checked out depends on how long you left a tampon for.If you only left a tampon a few hours longer than you were supposed to (you should change every 4-6 hours) then you're likely okay so just pop on a pad for the rest of your cycle and watch for symptoms of bacterial infections such as excessive bad smelling discharge. If you left a tampon in over a couple of days then you should consider getting checked out as chances are you will develop a vaginal infection. TSS is a risk but you'd likely have seen symptoms after a few hours.
What you should do if you think you left a tampon in for too long and now always have sudden urge to go to the bathroom?
If you think that you left a tampon in then first thing is to check for that tampon, if you struggle to reach into your vagina then get into a squatting position and push down. Remove the tampon straight away and don't use tampons for the rest of that cycle to give your vagina a chance to clean itself. If you have constant urge to urinate and/or you experience pain when you urinate you may have a urinary tract infection (UTI), a tampon left too long shouldn't cause this but if you think you may have a UTI or you notice any symptoms of vaginal infection you should see a doctor.
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.
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.
Is it normal for the discharge on your tampon to be on left side?
If a tampon has blood on only one side, it is never a cause for concern. It has no medical meaning.
If you forgot a tampon inside you for 2 weeks should you see a doctor?
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.
How do you know if the tampons in correctly?
You should only be able to see the string, it should be comfy (although even if it's in right it can feel weird the first few times), and if you put the first bit of finger in your vgina, you shouldn't be able to feel the actual tampon.
What is a tampon supposed to do?
The tampon is a means for handling a period. It is inserted in the vagina to absorb the blood. The one problem with them is if left too long without getting changed a bacterial infection may start that can lead to death. Young girls should not use them as well.
Health concerns with a forgotten tampon?
The main health concerns would be toxic shock syndrome and vaginal infection. The longer a tampon is left the longer bacteria have to multiply upon the tampon and within the vagina, menstrual blood would also decompose so if left over months could lead to blood poisening too.
What does it mean if when your putting a tampon on in it hits something and moves left?
It could be one of two things:You may have hit your cervix, which sits lower in the vagina during menstruation.It may be that the vaginal walls are closed in and push the tampon to the side.If you insert fingers vaginally you should be able to feel which this is.
