Can a tampon get stuck on its own accord or does it have to be pushed somehow?
A tampon cannot really get stuck at all. A tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal, it can't be pushed any higher than that. As long as you are using a tampon and relaxed upon removal the tampon will come out.
When you insert a tampon does it go past the muscle and right in with the string hanging out or sights on the muscle with the end of the tampon visible?
The tampon goes all the way into the vaginal canal - if that's what you mean by the muscle, as the vaginal canal is essentially a muscular tube. The whole tampon goes into the vagina and quite deep, it wouldn't even be near the vaginal opening once it is inserted so certainly wouldn't hang out. All that hangs out is the tampon string for easy removal, that is if you use a tampon with a string.
Brown discarge followed by period that lasted one day when I put the tampon it hurt a lot?
Yes, it would hurt because you didn't have sufficient flow to be wearing a tampon. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues and cause friction during insertion/removal when dry, this results in vaginal damage and irritation.
Is pain normal after retrieving a stuck tampon?
Whether it's normal to feel pain after retrieving a 'stuck' tampon depends on what you mean by it being 'stuck', what you did to retrieve it, and how long afterwards it continues to hurt. If the tampon was 'stuck' because it was too dry then it would have caused vaginal tearing and irritation so would hurt. If the tampon was 'stuck' because you were tense and you had to force it out that would hurt too. If you're experiencing pain days or weeks after removal then you may be looking at an infection.
What are the side affects from tampon infections?
There's no such thing as tampon infections, tampons are a major cause of vaginal infections such as yeast infections and Bacterial Vaginosis. Symptoms can include irritation, discomfort, swelling, excessive unusual discharge, and bad odour. If you suspect you have a vaginal infection see your doctor for tests and treatment.
Can a tampon fall out in the water?
It's VERY unlikely that a tampon would fall out - tampons are held in place by the vaginal muscles, the vaginal walls also close around the tampon which help keep it in place - if a tampon did fall out of your vagina when using the bathroom you should see your doctor as there is a problem with vaginal muscle tone. If a tampon was to fall out then you would unfortunately have to scoop it out to throw it in the bin.
Can you use Metronidazole vaginal gel while on your period?
yes, continue to use it even if you start your period during treatment. use a pad, not a tampon. Its important to finish the treatment or you may need to start over.
When you try to put the tampon in why does it slide back out?
Your vaginal canal is a muscular tube, when you tighten the vaginal muscles it can push things out of the vagina. Once inserted correctly those same vaginal muscles help keep the tampon in place.
Why cant i put a tampon in somthing is blocking it from going in and it hurts to touch it?
It may be that there is something blocking the tampon, likely your cervix or vaginal wall. Tampons need to be inserted towards the small of your back because your vaginal canal is curved so if you insert straight up you would be inserting the tampon into a vaginal wall, thus will go no further. You need to stay relaxed because if you're tense vaginal muscles tense causing the vaginal walls to clench together, thus the vaginal canal is narrower so harder for the tampon to move through. If you have a shorter vaginal canal your cervix may be sitting low so getting in the way of the tampon. Feel inside your vagina to get an idea of what is blocking the tampon.
What is the cpt code for the removal of a tampon?

What would happen if a tampon were to be pushed into far and was forgotten?
A tampon cannot go any further than your vaginal canal, the cervix at the top of the vaginal canal stops the tampon from going any deeper. If you forget a tampon then remove it as soon as possible and do not use tampons for the rest of that cycle. Watch for symptoms of vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis, such as bad smelling or excessive discharge, and see your doctor if you see these.
Does it hurt when you pu in a tampon?
No, as long as you're using them correctly tampons shouldn't hurt to insert.Tampons can hurt if you're not relaxed enough - if you're tense your vaginal muscles tense causing the vaginal walls to clench together, this narrows the vaginal canal and means having to push the tampon against vaginal muscles, it also makes it more likely you'd push the tampon into a vaginal wall rather than guiding it up into place. If you use too high an absorbency then this can cause pain due to friction of the dry tampon against the delicate vaginal tissues. Just relax and use correctly.
