Tampons are really popular but once in a while they might give you trouble especially if you forget to take them out.
If you have a stuck tampon, maybe after “certain activities” or maybe you placed a second one in because you forgot about the first tampon, do not freak out, you are not alone.
It is actually more common than you think.
First of all if you cannot find it, know that it’s somewhere in there within the canal, it cannot go any further.
It may not be easy to find or remove a stuck tampon. If you are in such a situation, do not leave it in due to the risk of complications.
First of all, You can take a deep breath, do not panic. You can insert one or two fingers and gently feel around for a string or the tampon itself.
Trying to relax might help as your muscles tend to tense up when stressed which may make it harder to remove a stuck tampon. Changing your position may also give you better access.
Note: Make sure you wash your hands with soap + water beforehand to prevent introducing germs.
Also trim your nails so you don’t scratch yourself in there.
Finally do not use any object or tools besides your fingers to try retrieving the tampon.
If you are not able to get a stuck tampon out by yourself, or you also have other symptoms like an unpleasant discharge/smell/fever/pa1n, it’s time to see a medical professional to help remove it.
