What Causes Foul Vaginal Smell After Forgetting To Remove A Tampon?

If I had a tampon stuck could I feel it. The other night I drank and think I might have forgotten to take it out. There is no weird smells or anything I m just worried because I know what can happen. I also had sex that s what makes me think I might have forgot it. I tried to feel but couldn t feel anything only cervix. If I felt all the way to my cervix and felt nothing should I be ok?

Hello,

The tampon can cause an infection if it is not removed.

So, I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound to exclude the possibility that you have not removed it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
