A member asked:

When using a tampon sometimes it makes really hard to pee. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Position: Make sure the tampon is well positioned behind the pubic bone so that you don't feel pressure from it. If you still have trouble, you may need to try a different type of tampon- some are more absorbent, longer or thicker and may not fit you as well.
