Reappeared Periods With Light Bleeding. History Of Not Remembering Removal Of Last Tampon Was Done Or Not. No Other Symptoms. Advice
Hi. During my last cycle I could not remember if I removed the last tampon. I did not see anything or experience discomfort so I figured everything was fine. A few days ago I started again and the flow was much lighter than usual. Do you think this may mean the tampon is still inside. I have not have any symptoms of TSS. (dizziness, fever, discharge etc.) Thank you.

Hi and thanks for this question.
From the information you have provided it is less likely that you forgot a tampon inside the vaginal. If this were the case, you would have felt some discomfort and the vaginal discharge wold have been purulent and very offensive. However, you would need to monitor and act if any symptoms do occur. also, if you are still very unsure of the actual situation despite the above information, please a simple speculum vaginal examination would provide and instant answer and solution if that were the case.
Hope you find this helpful and informative. if you have ore questions, we'v got answers. Keep them coming.
I wish you the best of health.
