General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Tampoon when left in vagina for long time. (not being changed)..causes bad vaginal hygiene &may trurn in vaginal infection... without sex also. OR exaggarate the infection already present.. Though it's a rare possibiity -of ignoring hygiene- in a regular user..could be so in outdoors (because of haste&lack of proper wash rooms) In short your wife can be genuine... a keen observation is needful to proove her otherwise. *Don't be suspicious & be causious before raising any charge on her. Thanks.
