Yes: You may have an old tampon left in there or something is dropping and out of place. Use your fingers to check for anything that does not feel like tissue, and if possible gently pull it out. If you can't pull it out, or if that hurts worse, please go to your GP or clinic. Please don't delay if you have any fever or odor coming from there.

I've tried to use tampons, it won't go in and it hurts very bad. Actually, nothing can go in me. And my hymen looks odd(it has absolutely no openings, but it's not imperforate). Can I just get a hymenectomy? Also when I touch it, it feels very thick?
