There are other possible causes of pain when inserting a tampon, such as the allergic reaction. Since rayon tampons are treated with chemicals, this could cause irritation or allergic reaction, which is likely to lead to pain and inflammation. If you have sensitive skin, it is worth checking that your tampons do not have whitening or chemically processed.

In some cases, a uterine prolapse could cause difficulty or pain when entering tampon. This is more common than it may seem, as it results in a weakness of the pelvic floor. It may seem that there is no longer enough space for your tampons, and there may be some degree of pain. A mild uterine prolapse may feel like a piece on the birth channel (except for the cervix!), But if it is serious, you will already know that there is a problem. Always look for medical care for any unusual pieces and bumps, but in the case of mild uterine precursor, pelvic floor exercises can help.

We will start by saying that if the pain when introducing a tampon was never a problem before, this is unlikely to be the cause. However, it can help to be considered that as the birth channel is curved, trying to insert a tampon, pushing it directly, it will make it feel the tampon hits a wall. Technically is – It hits the vaginal wall, and obviously this can hurt!

If you are not used to entering tampons, you should start trying to guide your tampon gently on the birth channel. Do this by holding it at an angle, as if pushing it in the direction of the base of your spine. You could try to use a tampon with a applicator to help you properly. If you do these things, but you continue to feel pain, there is probably another reason for the pain.

When the vagina is dry, it will be more difficult to enter (or remove) a tampon. You may be able to do so, but it could be painful. If your vagina is drier than usual, this could have various causes. Something as simple as inadequate menstrual flow is a possibility. As the tampons are very dry, they can cause friction if the flow is minimal. If so, you may need to try smaller tampons or use a lighter pillow.

Another reason for the dryness of the vagina may be hormonal changes that occur after childbirth and during breastfeeding. Similarly, during the periphery (execution to menopause), estrogen levels can be reduced, resulting in more vaginal dryness than usual. Although you may have periods, a drier vagina can lead to pain when you insert a tampon. This is particularly likely if estrogen levels have led to any degree of atrophic vaginal (vaginal atrophy), as this can also lead to skin dilution in the area, a sense of combustion and inflammation.

If you think dryness could be the problem, you could try to use a personal lubricant to facilitate the process.

If you have vaginal pain when you enter a tampon is probably inevitable. You will also feel pain in all kinds of attempted penetration, as your vaginal muscles will inadvertently tighten. Women with sticky often feel serious stress in the thought of penetration and tampons are no different.

When the vagina is the reason for difficulty in introducing tampon, you may need to seek treatment with Vaginsimus – the problem rarely goes away from itself, but that is treatable. You may need the help of a pelvic floor physiotherapist or if your vagina is not serious, over time, home penetration using vaginal dilators can be enough.

“A lot of customers call me and make it difficult with tampons and they can’t have intercourse. Says Tara Langdale Schimidt, the inventor of Vuva dilators.
