My daughter who is 13 now,just went through this same scenario. She had used a tampon for the first time and had an impossible time getting it all the way in had major discomfort getting it out and would not try it again until 2 years later and swim season rolled around. Her 2nd attempt at 13 went smoothly. In and out with no pain so she decided all was well, and put one in before school. 5 hours later, at school she tried to take it out. It only came out half way and was excruciatingly painful. She said she could see skin wrapped up in the tampon. After looking at it we went straight to my OB/GYN. It was a vaginal septum about the diameter of a matchstick that runs vertically across her vagina. When pulling the tampon out, it was trying to pull the septum out with it. My doctor removed the tampon and will perform a quick in office procedure to snip and cauterize the tissue later this week. Just felt like I had to share this to help the next unsuspecting mother/girl who experiences this unusual occurrence.
