My period ended bout 12 days ago. During the last days of it, I went to remove my tampon but there was no string! I couldn't remember if I took it out or not, because I was drunk. Since then I've had this smelly discharge that keeps dripping out. I'm a big scaredy baby and am afraid to go feeling for it. I know I wont be able to for long, so before I start, will I feel it right away? Because if I don't I know I'll stop and assume its not there. But if it is, after all these days, is that bad for me. But I'm so embarrased to go to the doctor's. It may not even be that.

Tell you what.. hate to say it but you need to see a doctor asap. Forget the embarrassment. Do you know that doctors get sick of seeing naked bodies as they do it all day. It's their job.. Just like looking at a motor if you're a mechanic. If you have a discharge like this you could have an infection, especially if you think that perhaps you left a tampon in there. Don't leave this as it infections like that can be really serious! If it isn't the tampon, then there is another serious problem that you need to get checked out. It is not normal for a woman to have smelly discharge at any point. Best of luck. Get to the doctor today...

Find that tampon. There is no place inside you that it can go. The longer that is stays there the more likely it will make you deathly ill. Remember the Toxic Shock Syndrome warned about on the box. My daughter almost died in September.
Your tampon may be up and to the side of the cervix ...find it. Being grossed out is no reason to die from infection!
If there is no tampon get yourself to the doctor, Yesterday!

Regardless if there is still a tampon in there or not you need to go to the doctor. Its possible it could still be there. If your that concerd go searching yourself though if there is something it may be pushed farther up by doing so! I would highly recomend going to the doctors! I use to be scared to go to the doc for personal stuff but in the long run your health is much more important than your fears!

GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!! Even if you don't have anything in there you probably have a yeast infection. And if there is a tampon in there, you are going to end up with toxic shock syndrome if you don't get medical attention soon.
Trust me, doctors are used to dealing with that kind of thing. No need to be embarassed.

Honey, you need to see a doctor. You may have the tampon in there, or a really bad infection. Doctors have seen a lot worse, trust me!

You need to go to a gyn... if you don't you could end up dying if there is a tampon still in there... is is called toxic shock syndrome and you will feel like you have the flu or a very bad cold... my cousin almost died because part of it was still in her and she thought all of it came out.... so just go better be safe than sorry...
Don't try to pull it out yourself you could push it farther in...

I actually knew a person who had this happen, and she did have to have the doctor remove it as it had moved so far up. Don't worry, doctor's have seen it all, you need to call you gyn, soon. Not healthy, you are creating a nice environment for bacteria to grow.
Good Luck!!
