Is it okay to leave the tampon inside?

When women reach their menstrual period, they will use a variety of menstrual products to absorb menstrual blood. When choosing, many female friends will use some products that they like, are more comfortable, convenient and affordable. Tampons are currently the most convenient and comfortable menstrual products. However, this is an internal product. Some people in life will forget to take it out. So, what should we do if the tampon is left in the body?

Embarrassing: The tampon is "invisible" in the body and can't be found

What will make you realize that you forgot to take out the tampon is definitely the unpleasant smell. This smell comes from the large-scale growth of bacteria on the surface of the tampon with blood trapped in the body. As time goes by, the types of bacteria become more and more, and the smell becomes stronger and stronger.

These bacteria will not cause a harmful infection in the body, but they can cause symptoms of poisoning, which are rare and usually occur after using a high-absorbency tampon for more than 8 hours, and symptoms include high fever or vomiting. The key to the problem is that when you realize that you forgot to take out the tampon, the cotton string of the tampon is no longer there: the tampon has been in the body for a few days, and the cotton string certainly won’t stay in its original place.

Solution

Lie flat on the bed, wash your hands, insert two fingers into your body, and try to feel the location of the cotton thread. If you can't find it, you can also put a chair in the bathroom, put one foot on the chair, and use the same method to find it, or squat or bend over, change your body posture, and try to move the tampon inside the body towards the inside opening.

Using a small amount of lubricant can help your fingers enter the body smoothly, but don't use too much, otherwise the tampon will be too slippery and difficult to remove; also don't be too anxious: if you are too nervous, your internal muscles will tighten, pulling the tampon deeper into the body.

If the above methods do not work, you should go to the hospital for gynecological emergency as soon as possible. The doctor has special instruments and techniques to help you remove the tampon, which can be done in a few minutes. By the way, ask the doctor to do an internal examination for you to see if you are infected with any bacteria, and then you can leave.

What should you do if a tampon is left in your body? Experts have already given a detailed introduction to this issue. I believe that everyone should now understand that the harm of leaving a tampon in the body is very serious. In serious cases, it can endanger people's lives. Therefore, you must remove the tampon within a certain period of time to avoid harm to the body.
