Lost Tampon and Groin Pain

2018-05-23 23:50:48
I went to the gynecologist for a ladies exam yesterday and they found that I'd forgotten a tampon inside of me. It had been in there for at least nine days (gross, I know, I'm sorry). Later that day that they removed it, I began getting tender pain in my groin on the right side. I know I didn't pull any muscle. I'm thinking that my body's immune response has caused a tender gland in my groin. Am I right?
