Tampons hurt too much

It's only a bit uncomfortable to put in, and they are comfortable once in, but they hurt like hell to take out. It wasn't because it was dry, my tampons were always wet with fresh blood when I took them out and that applies to my vaginal walls as well. I don't actually wear tampons anymore, so it's not my issue, I'm just worried about that fact in general. That it hurts so much to take even something that small out. I'm 16, I would consult a doctor but I want to hear your advice first, especially as I'm nervous about going to the doctors for this.
