Retained tampon: If you truly cannot reach in and sweep the vaginal area to clean it out please contact your family doctor to help.

See gynecologist: This is a very common situation. Call your gynecologist and go in tomorrow. They can examine you quickly, and determine what is going on. If indeed you have two tampons, they can easily remove them and send you on your way. Call now.
