Hello Anonymous,

Does it look like a piece of body tissue? Does it hurt when you pull on it?

It may be your hymen. The hymen is a piece of tissue that lines the vaginal opening It has an opening that can be of any size, but generally is the size of your finger.

Sometimes, the hymen breaks with the first intercourse. It can normal for it to be uncomfortable to pass a tampon. If a woman is relaxed during intercourse and has good lubrication and she and her partner has tried to stretch the hymen with fingers, the hymen will not break.

I suggest you schedule an appointment with your gynecologist. With a physical exam, you can find out what this is.
