Women Only!
No, not me! I am just posting about the possibilities because my personal blog has hits for people looking for signs of forgotten tampon left in the vagina. So, I google a bit and found
I am dizzy and has sore throat. My feet felt cold. I realized I left my tampon in my abdomen. I wonder if the dizzy spells is due to toxic shock syndrome?
This is weird, you know? Normally tampon comes with a cotton thread that dangles out so unless the person has not been washing herself well, how can she possibly not feel the cotton thread?
Then again, Toxic Shock Syndrome is not something to be taken lightly. Once you left your tampon too long in the vagina, there may be infection. Here’s what Wiki said :
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterial toxin. Different bacterial toxins may cause toxic shock syndrome, depending on the situation. The causative agents are the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptococcal TSS is sometimes referred to as Toxic Shock Like Syndrome (TSLS).

You could have an infection, please go see your doctor ASAP girl !
Time to go to Urgent Care.
it could be..i suggest getting yourself to a doctor. pronto!

Could be, please head to the ER or another doc quickly.
Even if it’s not, it’s best to know. Or there might be another cause.
yah i would go to the doctor asap that doesnt sound to good!
Ouch!!!Go to the doctor and quick! 24 hours! That’s a long time
go see your doctor or go to the ER right away, and if this happens again, go to your doctor or call then. and if you are worried about this happening again, try useing orgain coton tampons, or a pad, if you’re in a possion where you think you might forget.
look up: toxic shock syndrome on computer. It will give you list of symptoms to compare with yours.
You didn’t mention fever, that is one important sign.
Also, you said you drank a lot, part of your problem may be after-effects of drinking .
If you can’t get to doctor immediately, drink lots of clear liquids because “spewing” dehydrates you. A visit to doc. tomorrow would be smart.
Also, you didn’t mention your age. If you are aching, still, you can take Tylenol (same as acetaminophen). DO NOT take aspirin right now. It would be hard on your stomach. Plus until you are 25 aspirin can cause a problem called Reyes Syndrome when you take it. Tylenol is best for now ( and no, I don’t have stock in Tylenol – I always use generic.
)
Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.
Usually TSS presents with high fever and rash. You may still have developed TSS but it’s not very likely. Hovever you still need prompt medical attention because of the abdominal pain.
Your symptoms don’t sound like TSS and it’s highly unlikely you’ve contracted it.
Your body aches and nausea could be due to the flu. However, lower right abdomen pain can also be a symptom of appendicitis. You might want to take a trip down to the nearest urgent care clinic or at least call and speak to someone there. They should be able to advise you based on your symptoms.
Hope you feel better soon.
You could have an infection going on. Please see your doctor for further evaluation.
Yes. Go to the ER.
My wife has left them in for 2 weeks.
Sounds like too much to drink.
