A member asked:
I'm not sure why using a tampon causes me discomfort? perhaps not inserted correctly or deep enough? just very sore and uncomfortable.

Call gynecologist: The discomfort may be that you have not inserted it properly, part of your anxiety, or a local infection, or other issue. Call for an appointment with your gynecologist and get this checked. It may be something very simple to correct, and it makes sense to get it checked.
