Can a tampon go beyond the vagina and get lost in the body? Can a tampon get stuck inside?
No, a tampon cannot get lost inside your body. The opening at the end of your vagina (the cervix) is much too small for a tampon to fit through. The tampon is held in place by the walls of your vagina until you pull on the cord to remove it. If you feel definite resistance when you pull on the withdrawal cord, try to relax.

It may be too early to remove it, if it’s been in place less than 4 hours. A tampon cannot get “stuck” inside you. The vagina is a potential space that can expand, and the tampon can get lodged near the back. It will stay there until you find it. Sometimes the string may become twisted behind the tampon, or pushed way back in the vagina, making it difficult to reach.

When this happens, it takes some time for the vagina to relax and change position so that the tampon will return to its usual place, or at least a place where it can be reac
