Is It Serious To Have Placed The Tampon In The Rectum?

Hello. Recently, I had been assaulted by an unknown person. The Individual had left me both bruised and had also left me bed ridden for three or more days. After the assault I had started to feel faint and flush, experiencing heavy uncontrollable shaking, with some sort of fever like symptoms. As it had turned out, about eight to ten months after the assault, I had found a tampon, that had been taken from the vagina and placed in the rectum. Is it a possibility that having had left inside of my lower extremities for such an extended period of time that a more serious, or more problematic disease can arise from a cotton fiber such as a tampax pearl. Also, is this currently associated with any lupas or malaria prognosis ?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history assault by an unknown person that kept you bedridden for 3-4 days. Also noted that you passed tampon after 8 months in stool.
It is impossible for the tampon to be retained in the rectum for such a long time, it is passed with the stool or could have caused the problems of obstruction.
Hence get the following things done.
Get an opinion of a Gynecologist and a general Surgeon to get the examination and endoscopy done.
It looks that you also need assessment by a Psychologist or a Psychiatrist for the post-traumatic stress disorder that is PTSD as you may be showing lots of symptoms related to this particular problem.
