Have vaginismus and on my period and my tampon is stuck in my vagina. it hurts to leave it in but hurts when i try to pull it out. what should i do?

Remove Tampon: You need to remove your tampon. A tampon left in the vagina can lead to a serious bacterial infection. Try taking 800 mg of Motrin and then removing it. If you still can't remove the tampon, seek medical assistance from a gynecologist or the emergency department.
