Menstruation Answer A17697
Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
You should consider getting yourself examined by a gynecologist to see what could be the problem (if you are using the correct size of it). Sometimes anatomical problems of vagina (eg, septate vagina) also result in inability to put in tampons. Do not be hard on yourself to get the tampon in, it might hurt you and result in bleeding etc. If any anatomical problem is detected, you might need to get a surgery done (vaginoplasty) to fix it.
Take care.
