About Removal of Impacted Vaginal Foreign Body

Removal of an impacted vaginal foreign body is a specialized gynecological procedure performed to safely extract objects that have become lodged or embedded in the vaginal canal. This condition, which can occur in patients of all ages, often presents with symptoms like persistent discharge, pain, bleeding, or odor. An Obstetrics and Gynaecologist typically performs a thorough pelvic examination, often under anesthesia, to visualize and carefully remove the object using specialized instruments like speculums, forceps, or a hysteroscope. The procedure aims to prevent complications such as infection, tissue damage, or toxic shock syndrome. It is a crucial intervention for restoring vaginal health and comfort.
