Many girls do not use tampons, fearing that the tampon can get stuck or the lanyard will come off and it will be impossible to get a tampon. But most of those who use tampons do not understand how problems can arise in order to get a tampon, because they did not have such inconveniences. Nevertheless, there are "lucky ones" who complain that they do not know how to pull the tampon, because it is stuck in the vagina. What to do in this case, run to a gynecologist or can you cope with this problem yourself?
What if I get stuck in a tampon?
How to get a tampon if it is stuck, what should I do? Often, girls who have encountered such a problem begin to panic, frightened muscles of the vagina shrink and the already stuck swab becomes even harder to extract. Therefore, the first thing to do is stop panicking "I can not pull the tampon" and relax. After this, you need to try to remove the tampon, squatting and slightly taut. Usually, after these actions, the tampon drops to the entrance to the vagina, from which it can be easily removed by hand, or comes out completely by itself. If these manipulations did not help, you can also squatting, try to remove the tampon by inserting a finger into the vagina. Of course, you need to wash your hands beforehand.
Difficulties with removing the tampon can occur in women with long nails. They better not experiment with the introduction of a finger into the vagina, so you can cause yourself serious damage. It is better to try to remove the tampon, tensing. If this does not work, then you need to contact a gynecologist. Do it better immediately, because by leaving a tampon in the vagina for more than the required time, you create a favorable environment for the development of bacteria and create the conditions for the onset of inflammatory processes.
Why can I get a tampon?
Manufacturers of hygienic tampons assure us that no problems with their use can arise. And if the girl complains "I can not get a tampon", then most likely it's her fault, since she did not take into account the rules for using hygienic tampons, which are available in each package. True, there is still the possibility of the producer's guilt, but this is more likely to apply to unscrupulous, unknown brands of hygiene products. These tampons can really come off the lanyard, which will create problems with removing the tampon. But, as already mentioned above, it is usually not difficult to extract a tampon if you are doing everything right. What wrong actions can cause problems in this area?
- If the tampon is painfully pulled out, then most likely it is because it is not completely soaked. In this case, you need to wait a bit, when the tampon is completely saturated, it can be extracted painlessly. Pain when removing a tampon can occur due to the use of tampons with a higher absorbency than necessary, or when using tampons for daily hygiene. In these cases, swabs do not have time to soak, they need to be changed every 4-6 hours, and when they are removed, they give painful sensations.
- Sometimes the girls say "I can not remove the second tampon, it's lost." In this case, the second tampon is inserted deeper than the laid one, and the lanyard turns completely into the vagina.
To extract such a "lost" hygiene item, you either need to strain the muscles of the vagina, squatting, or gently insert a finger into the vagina, find the lanyard and remove the tampon for it. And for the future to remember - the use of 2 tampons at the same time is not allowed, to protect against leakage, one should use either tampons with a higher absorbency or in addition arm themselves with a gasket. - Also a tampon along with a lanyard can be deeply inserted into the vagina if the girl has forgotten to pull the tampon before introducing a new one or if she decided to have sex during the period with a swab inside. It is clear that this should not be done.
