Tampon Stuck for 6 Months

Ladies. I’m not joking. I went through a really rough couple months and long story short I didn’t have insurance and couldn’t go get help. Now I had no idea it was a tampon stuck up there. I had this smell since November down there and I knew I had an infection but I just couldn’t go to the OB. Well, I got insurance luckily but was so embarrassed about the smell and everything I didn’t want to tell my husband even though I know he would obviously 🙄 know because of the smell 👃 so I went about my business and I started bleeding in between my period and then intense cramping. It got so bad I said fuck it and finally went to the hospital.

Here I am legs wide open thinking I just have a bad infection and the Doctor goes, “Oh My God!”. At that moment I freaked. The doctor ran out of the room to grab another doctor and these really scary medical supplies.

They both were examining this mystery object inside me and were sure if it was a tumor or not because it started imbedding into my vagina.

They finally get it out. Scrape my insides and I was screaming bloody murder.

And they both cut into and realized it was a tampon! They looked at me and were like, “How are you not dead!”. My body should of went into toxic shock syndrome.

They did bloodwork and it showed I indeed had infection so they put me on antibiotics and I was able to walk away with my life.

I wanted to spread awareness about this. There was no string on the tampon so they believe that’s how I missed it. It also went into my posterior cul de sac. Which I didn’t even know was apart of my vagina.

Stay aware and be safe ladies! ♥️
