Hi

I need someone's help...I think I have a tampon stuck UP in me..how do I get it out!?

The thought of sticking my fingers in there and feeling around makes me sick to my stomach.

Any ideas!?

PLEASE help!!!

Melissa,

You're going to have to do that - either that or see your doc asap. (I say asap because this is not something you can put off for a few days...)

Probably the easiest way: just squat on the floor, insert a finger, and do a "sweep" all the way around. You'll almost certainly feel it and should be able to remove it. If you don't feel it, then insert your finger one more time - all the way back to your cervix, and move across the center.

If you still feel nothing, then maybe you're mistaken and there's no tampon there? It's not a very large space - and there is no chance that it could go any further up into your body. However, if you're not sure...then call your doc for an appt today, or go to an ER or urgent care clinic.

Good luck!

Yep, go to the doctor...believe me, they've seen it all before so don't be embarrassed.
