Should I See A Doctor As My Tampon Was Left Inside And Was Smelling?
I didnt realize i had left a tampon in. I think it may have been there for a few weeks. It started to smell so I used a douche. I am on blood thinners so I thought that had something to do with it. The tampon came out today on it own while in the bathroom. the smell was horrible. should I see a doctor?
