I : I am aware that some women insert garlic cloves in their vagina to cure yeast infections that are not too far advanced. I am not able to comment on either the safety or the efficacy of this practice. However, my understanding is that the clove (especially if sliced open) can sometimes burn the mucosa (skin in the vagina); especially if the mucosa is already raw from a yeast infection. Thus, if you get a clove of garlic lodged inside you, it may become painful. Regardless of the reason that you placed garlic in your vagina, it is now a foreign object. I also recommend that you see a gynecologist, so that the garlic can be removed.

You : You need to see a gynecologist to remove the garlic clove from your cervix. I am not sure why garlic is in the cervix but a gynecologist has the tools to remove it vary easily. Good luck.
