What Causes Bad Vaginal Odor?
I had a tampon lodged in my vagina for maybe 2 or may days . I noticed a bad Oder and that s how I realized I must have left one inside me . I was able to get it out but I still have a bad Oder and I m very concerned about this and the effects on my body. Please contact me with advice.

Tampon remaining in the vagina for more than two days and then foul smelling vaginal discharge is pointing towards infection.
Please remove the tampon immediately, have a antiseptic vaginal douche (with gynaecologists advice only). The gynaecologist may put you on a course of antibiotics to control the infection.
Please remember to remove the tampon daily.
I hope you will take proper care in future to maintain your genital hygiene.
