Re: Tampon left in for 3 weeks

so lately I've been spotting a little bit so I decided to put a tampon in and not really bleeding so I didn't even think about it it was a little hard to pee but just kept well a day or so later me and my husband had sex and I noticed a very foul odor which I never normally have was a little concerned that I thought well I have been spotting a lot lately I'll just take a shower and clean really good and then this morning me and my husband had sex again the same odor was there but it was getting worse my husband says somethings not right honey so I decided to douche with some warm water it seemed when I squatted in the shower it was a little hard to push up so that I stuck my finger up there and felt something very spongy I know my cervix wasn't that low so I tried to move it around and then I pulled it and it started to come down will it end up being a tampon the smell was god awful but I got it out and I cleaned up I have been feeling bad lately but no fever and I'm wondering if I should go to the doctor or if it should be okay I'm thinking it may have been in there anywhere up to 2 to 3 weeks Tweet
