Hello,

Do you have any itching? Any pain, bleeding? Any foulsmelling discharge? If not, then there is no infection and you have nothing much to worry about..

If you have a lot of discomfort, you can use a vaginal douche - Betadine solution mixed with water makes an excellent antibiotic douche. Betadine is available OTC. Please do not douche youself for more than 3-4 times as douching too many times can cause a type of vaginitis called bacterial vaginosis.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Sexual intercourse will not be affected at all.

The vagina is quite capable of cleaning itself. So if there is no infection , the sand and rocks will come out by themselves.

I hope this helps.

hello,

No, it will not affect future pregnancies since, as you say there is no signs of infection. And strange objects being inserted or gettng inserted into the vagina is not uncommon at all. Beads, buttons, stones etc have all been recorded as being inserted.

I hope this helps.
