A member asked:

What if i lost a tampon in my vagina and could not get it out but i never had any symptoms of infection? would my body eventually get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lost tampon: Loosing a tampon in the vagina does happen - I have seen it before. You won't get eventually rid of it - see a health care provider who can do a speculum exam (look into your vagina) and have him/her retrieve the tampon. Don't delay.
