What Causes Odor And Brown Vaginal Discharge?

Posted on Thu, 22 Jan 2015

Question: Have odor and brown discharge. Almost certain that it's a tampon. It's been weeks since, and i've had sex several times. How can i get it out without going to the doctor?

Brief Answer:
don't wait for long

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your anxiety but if it has been weeks then it will be difficult to take it out on your own.
You can try targeting the stream of jet on a toilet seat on your vagina which might swell the tampon and make it visible outside the vagina or ask your boyfriend to try to remove it.
But don't wait longer otherwise it can harbor dangerous infection.
Take care

I don't have insurance or a way to pay to go to doctor. Is there anything else i can do myself to get it out? What is the time span i have for me to get to a doctor?

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (9 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
maximum one day

Detailed Answer:
Only your partner can try to take it out but do it gently.
Safest time period is to remove it within 1 day and never more than that but you are already well past that so try to act fast to prevent complication.
All the Best.
