Personally I really do think you should make a further appointment to see your doctor/gyno as soon as possible, if only to be on the safe side.

I honestly don't have an idea. This is first that I've heard of this. You should see your Gyne. I am sure they'll be able to help and explain to you what is going on. It might be possible that your vaginal wall is sore, that might be the one causing you the pain.

I would directly go to my Gyne if I were you. That sounds serious. It might be a possible infection of some kind. Not really sure.

Just curious, what sort of pain is it - a scratchy, irritating, "oh-god-there's-a-dry-wad-of-cotton-in-there" kind, or is it pressure, throbbing, etc? But just so you know, I really would advise you to go see a doctor or Gyne right away.

That's what I don't like about tampons..I'm afraid to use it for myself because of the side effect that it will have on my body.

If I were you, I could go immediately to the doctor. Don't take the situation as good for nothing. What if it is already serious.?

I'm very curious of what's it's like to use tampons. I'm planning to use it and do away with napkins..but now, I think I don't want to use it anymore because of your experience Freya. Thanks so much for sharing..

stop using tampons, you maybe have and allergy.

Have you tried consulting your doctor about this matter. This is kinda serious and I guess the best advice would come from them.

I really had bad feelings for tampons, that's why i don't use it, I am contented with my own sanitary napkin.

These tips will help you minimize health risks when using tampons:
# Read the information pamphlet that comes with tampons, and follow all directions.
# Do not use tampons until your period begins. Do not use them as a precaution because you expect your period to start on a given day, or to control other types of discharge.
# Wash your hands before and after inserting a tampon.
# Change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours, and do not use tampons overnight.
# Remember to remove each and every tampon.
# Alternate the use of tampons with external protection, like pads and liners.

Hello! Did you ever see your OBGYN about this? I am having this exact problem.

When I started having that problem I went to the OBGYN and found out I had fibroids in my uterus. Thats where the clunking came from. The pain was from cysts on my uterus. Both are very common in women so it may be one of the two or both. You may have a larger fibroid causing the clunking and making the uterus feel swollen which would be why it feels the tampon doesn't want to stay in. I had to have some fibroids and cyst removed. They will need to do a physical and maybe ultrasound to know for sure.

You might have an tampon-induced ulcer. I had the same symptoms and was advised to stop using tampons for a period of time (3-6 months) because it's likely that they had caused a pressure ulcer that wasn't healing because of continued irritation. My gyno said he had never seen one before and might have missed it because of its unusual location--it was covered by the normal use of the speculum--if I hadn't been so specific about the location of the pain.
