While removing the tampon, the disc fell on my toilet bowl. I washed it thoroughly in water and then applied it again. Is there a chance to get infected with venereal diseases ?? What to do? Please help

If you rinsed the disc under running water, the risk of infection with venereal disease is negligible. It is true that there is a risk of infection with a fungal disease (one of the common venereal diseases), however, if the situation has already occurred and you do not feel disturbing symptoms - there is no need to implement prevention. If you start to feel itching, burning in the vagina or observe a change in the consistency or color of vaginal discharge - then antifungal treatment should be considered, preferably after consulting a gynecologist.

Venereal diseases are not transmitted in this way. You can be calm.
