A member asked:

I have a constant pressue that is pushing my vagina open. now that i have my period my tampon is coming out from it. what's causing the pressure ?

More info: There's definitely a condition called vaginal prolapse where the vagina falls down and out. How old are you? Have you had vaginal births? See a doctor for this as there are remedies. A pessary. Surgery.

See a doctor: You may have bladder or uterine prolapse from poor pelvic muscular strength, but you also could have a tumor that is pushing things down. You need to be examined to know what is going on.
