A member asked:

Is it a cause for concern that several hours after taking out a tampon applicator that was accidentally stuck i'm feeling pressure and discomfort?

Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

No: The feeling of discomfort May last a few hours even a day. You should take Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Now if persistent pain, bleeding, discharge or fever then get checked.
