Hi,
(just want to start by saying this isn’t a troll post- I’ve name changed for this as it’s embarrassing but I’m a long term poster)
this is really embarrassing but I honestly don’t know what to do. basically about 6 weeks ago I thought my period was going to start that day, so I think I used a tampon just in case. Unfortunately I ended up in hospital very unwell and had an emergency treatment that needed propofol and ketamine so I was out of it. I was woozy for the rest of the day and when I woke up the next day i was so preoccupied with everything that happened that I forgot about the tampon.
but I’m positive I took it out. I’m sure I remember going to the toilet in a&e and taking it out. But I’m not sure if this happened because my memories from that day are pretty shit. And now to top it off, the more I think about it the less certain I am that I even used a tampon in the first place. Basically I can’t remember and my brain is filling in the blanks
I’ve had no pain, no unwellness and no issues whatsoever since so surely it’s very unlikely that there would still be a tampon there? I’m assuming I’d be very unwell or at least in pain if it were there? Also, I’ve used tampons since then as I’ve had my period since then and there was no pain or issues whatsoever so I’m guessing if there was still a tampon there then I’d have had problems with this whereas I didn’t.
But I’ve just got this horrible niggling feeling that I might have used a tampon that day, and I might have forgot to remove it. And because my memories are pretty shit because I was unwell it’s like my brain is filling in the gaps and now I have no idea whatsoever what happened.
I’ve tried to get a GP appointment but wasn’t able to, and it’s not an emergency so I’m not going to a&e for it, there isn’t really much in the way of sexual health clinics where I live in the country. I was thinking of booking a private GP appointment but realistically I don’t know if they’d be able to tell, I don’t know if it would need an ultrasound to see if it’s still there? And it’s probably overkill because I’ve had my period since then and had no pain or issues using tampons so it’s vanishingly unlikely that there is anything still there
sorry bit of a long post I know, and not the most pleasant topic, but I’ve got myself worried about this and it’s niggling at the back of my mind and I just don’t know what to do or who would be the best person to go to, or if it’s probably fine because it’s unlikely it’s still there
I know I should have dealt with this a long while ago but I’ve been so preoccupied because I was unwell.
does anyone have any advice of who would be the best place to go to for this? Thanks x
