Anjali Reddy, a 68-year-old retired schoolteacher...
Anjali Reddy, a 68-year-old retired schoolteacher and grandmother, lives a quiet life. For several months, she experienced a persistent, foul-smelling vaginal discharge and occasional spotting, which she dismissed as a stubborn infection or a normal part of aging. Embarrassed, she tried over-the-counter remedies. When symptoms worsened to include pelvic pain, her daughter insisted she see a doctor. The gynaecologist, after a gentle examination, discovered a long-forgotten pessary (a device for pelvic organ prolapse) that had been inserted years prior and had become embedded in the vaginal wall. The doctor recommended an urgent removal under anesthesia to prevent serious infection or fistula formation. Anjali felt profound shame and confusion for having forgotten. The procedure was performed in a hospital under spinal anesthesia. The impacted pessary was carefully dissected free. Post-procedure, Anjali was treated with antibiotics and vaginal estrogen cream to heal the tissue. The physical recovery was straightforward, with symptoms resolving completely. Emotionally, she moved from deep embarrassment and self-reproach to relief and gratitude. Her doctor's non-judgmental care helped her understand that such memory lapses can happen, allowing her to forgive herself and regain her dignity.
