What Causes Pain While Removing An Inserted Tampon?

Whenever I use a tampon, it always hurts a lot when I remove it. I ve looked it up and many have said that it s because the tampon is dry but even when it is soaked in blood and even leaking, it still hurts a lot. Am I doing something wrong? I m pulling it at the right angle

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Usually removing a tampoon should not cause any such problem. Probably you might have hurt some part of mucosa in your genital tract leading to such symptoms. It will generally heal by itself. Keep the area clean and hygeinic. Avoid intercourse for a week if you are sexually active.
