See Your Doctor Now: Your description suggests toilet tissue or part of a retained tampon passed from the vagina and it is a possibility there could be more foreign body material in your vagina. This can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome, caused by bacterial toxins; serious systemic symptoms can occur leading to organ failure, fever, shock, & more. See your doctor now for an exam to find & remove any remaining material.
