I've had continual vaginal discharge along with a foul odor for a couple weeks. a tampon i forgotten about just fell out. should i be worried?

Foreign body: A forgotten tampon can cause pretty bad cases of bacterial vaginosis. They have even been linked to more severe infections like toxic shock syndrome. Recommend seeing your Gyn or PCP to get evaluated so that you can be treated for your discharge.
