VAGINAL FOREIGN BODY: If you still can not locate it follow up with your doctor or gyn for a pelvic exam and removal, to prevent a secondary infection.

Perfectly O.K.: There is no reason to be embarrassed by treating a vaginal yeast infection with a clove of garlic. My internet source says to sew a string through the clove for easy retrieval - next time. This time you may want to see a gynecologist and have it removed.
