What Causes Foul Smell In Vagina After Using Tampon?
I left my tampon in from yesterday morning to this evening.. I totally forgot about it and it was a super light one so I felt nothing. I noticed a foul smell all day and finally realized I had a tampon stuck so I got it out but there s still a terrible odor.. How do I get rid of the odor?

That's why tempons are not recommended. Pads are superior to it and a better practice.
The problem is due to the infection inside vaginal due to foreign body.
Apply transvaginal Clotrimazole cream and take claritin tablet by mouth. Take Clindamycin antibiotic if not allergic to, and follow up with me or your gynaecologist after a week. You will be ok.
Take plenty of fluids and keep a good physical activity too.
