A member asked:

Hi there, i went to take out my tampon this morning and it wasn't there. i've felt around inside and couldn't feel anything. not sure if in my cervix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not in cervix: Your cervix remains functionally closed and will therefore never swallow up your tampon.If you can't find it you likely removed it earlier.

Dr Abbott and another doctor agreed

Used a lite absorbency tampon. No blood on the top only minimal on the bottom. How would this happen ? Is the bleeding not coming from the cervix/uterus?
