Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
You can use the instructions below to remove any suspected tampon stuck in your vagina.
1. Please wash your hands with soap and water.
2. Squat down, sit on the toilet, or stand with one foot resting elevated on the bathtub or a chair.
3. Slowly insert two fingers into your vagina. Sweep your fingers back and forth and try to feel the object.
4. Tighten your lower abdominal muscles as if you are going to have a bowel movement. This may push the object lower in the vagina, so you can reach it with your finger.
5. Once you feel the object, grasp it and pull it out of the vagina.
If you cannot find the tampon, you will have to see a doctor immediately. It is important that you get that out as soon as possible to avoid the infection from getting bad.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
