Vaginal foreign body

Vaginal foreign body refers to the presence of a foreign object or substance within the vagina. This condition is seen across all age groups but is more common in children and women of reproductive age. The foreign bodies can range from retained tampons to objects inserted for sexual or other purposes. Vaginal foreign bodies are a relatively common presentation in gynecological and emergency medicine. While some cases are accidental, others may be due to curiosity, sexual activity, or abuse, especially in children. The condition can lead to various complications if not addressed promptly.
