…” If it’s not obvious if something is in there or not and you’re concerned, call your doctor.
Greves points out that it’s possible to use a tampon and not be aware that you have a piece of it still inside you. “I don’t know many people who will remove a tampon and inspect it,” she says. If you’ve used these tampons and aren’t sure if there are any remnants, you’ll probably notice a funky odor if something is left in there, Greves says. Also, know this, says Greves: “Any amount of tampon left in your vαgina could lead to irritation or infection,” so you’ll want to call your doctor if you’re unsure.
Anyone who has the affected product is encouraged to stop using the tampons immediately and call the Kimberly-Clark Consumer Service team at 1-888-255-3499 between 8:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, for more information regarding this recall. And if you have vαginal injury (pain, bleeding, or discomfort), vαginal irritation (itching or swelling), urogenital infections (bladder and/or vαginal bacterial and/or yeast infections), or other symptoms like hot flashes, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting after using this product, the company says you should seek immediate medical attention.
