Tampons hurt and make me bleed. Why?

I’ve been using tampons for over 10 years and this has never happened other than the last 2 months. I’ve googled everything I can and it’s not fitting. 

So starting last months cycle my tampons sting going in progressively worse as my 5 day cycle runs it’s corse. I wear one correctly, far enough in etc (as I have my whole life, and even the same brand) and it fills up normal but STINGS when pulling it out. Then stings when inserting the new one. Like inside the vaginal canal it stings, I can feel it internally, not the tampon itself but the stinging from an “injury”.

It had made me bleed twice now. I can tell this blood is not menstrual blood. As it is fresh and bright red. Not as it should be. 

What is causing this all of a sudden? I’m not doing anything different than I have my whole life.

    Possibly an infection?

    Are you sexually active? With a partner or a toy? 

    Could this have caused an injury?

    See a dr and get it checked.

    I stopped using them years ago, they aren't good for you
