A member asked:

Sometimes i get a sharp pain in my vagina, could this be because of tampons or would the cause be something else?

Depends: If the pain is only when you are wearing tampons then, yes, it could be causing it (usually because it is in the wrong position). If it happens when you are not using one, then, no. Get checked and find out why, for sure.
