I have been having this discharge and foul Oder from my vagina for about two weeks. well when I went to use the restroom I notice some discomfort from my vagina, when I went to feel to see what it was, it was a lost tampon that has been in side of me. I don't know how long it has been up their. Can you tell me if their would be any serious complication?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
An old tampoon inside the vagina can sometimes cause serious vaginal and systemic infections leading to toxic shock syndrome. You need to consult a gynecologist for proper antibiotics.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
