Definition for tampon, according to Doland's Medical Dictionary:
tampon (tam·pon) (tam´pon) [Fr. “stopper, plug”] a pack; a pad or plug made of cotton, sponge, or other material; variously used in surgery to plug the nose, vagina, etc., for the control of hemorrhage or the absorption of secretions.
(emphasis mine)
A tampon is simply a plug which can be used in a body cavity (male or female) to absorb blood, sections, etc.
