Left The Tampon For More Than A Day. Why Do I Have Abdominal Cramping?
I absentmindly left a tampon in over 24hrs. I was on the last day of my cycle and thought I removed it when I switched to a pantomimes but noticed it this afternoon still there. There was barely any blood on it, but after removal I noticed slight, almost undetectable abdominal cramping. Is there a need to go to the E.R.?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The use of tampons requires an individual to be more alert while inserting and removing it. Leaving a tampon in place for a longer period of time can result in infections.
I am guessing you could also have the potential for an infection, which is why I would recommend you to visit your doctor for a urine analysis.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
