May need evaluation: As bad as it sounds, it is not uncommon. You already removed the offending agent. Here are some signs that you may need to be seen by your doctor: Persistent vaginal discharge, burning or itching Pelvic pain, fever or a rash If your symptoms disappear, you may want to take some probiotics (eat greek yogurt). DO NOT DOUCHE, this kills the good bacteria in your vagina

Left tampon: I would suggest a betadine douche or visiting your gynecologist
