Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Mild amount of bleeding occuring while putting in a tampoon is just normal due to slight injury that might occur to vaginal mucosa in the process. You need not worry about this if this has happened for the first time. If it happens repeatedly then go for a pap smear.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
