Is It Safe To Hit The Water Wearing A Tampon?
I accidentally left a tampon in me for about 3 weeks. symptoms were itching & foul odor during intercourse. GYN found the tampon & told me to use douche with betadyne & take probiotics. No antibiotic prescribed. I am travelling on a beach vacation soon--will it be ok to use tampons when in the pool?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the tampon being left in side for more than enough of days then it may cause infection, if nothing like infection found then this is nothing to worry, and you can use the device again, hope this information helps, take care
