Should you go to the hospital if a tampon gets stuck and cant find string?
Yes, you should go to the hospital if a tampon gets stuck and you cannot find the string. A tampon that is not removed can cause serious health problems, including:
- Toxic shock syndrome (TSS): TSS is a rare but life-threatening condition that can occur when bacteria from the tampon enter the bloodstream. TSS can cause fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness.
- Infection: A tampon that is left in place for too long can become infected with bacteria, leading to vaginal infection or even sepsis.
- Perforation: A tampon that is inserted incorrectly or left in place for too long can perforate the vaginal wall, causing pain and bleeding.
If you cannot remove a tampon on your own, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor can safely remove the tampon and treat any associated complications.
