Rarely do foreign bodies produce a systemic infection (an infection that spreads throughout the body through the bloodstream) except in circumstances such as severe compromise of the immune system or disruption of the vaginal wall with secondary infection.
Chronic consequences of vaginal foreign bodies include embedding of objects in the vaginal wall, pain with intercourse, bleeding, or the development of fistulae (abnormal openings or connections) between the vagina and the bladder, rectum, or peritoneal (abdominal) cavity.
Symptoms associated with chronic foreign body placement in the vagina or due to complications of chronic foreign body placement (such as fistulae) include disorders of urination or bowel function, loss of bladder control ( incontinence) or abnormal bowel function. Moreover, blood in the urine or stool can result from these complications.
The presence of a foreign body may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding. If a foreign object was placed in the vagina and may still be present, the health care professional should be informed. Occasionally, an adult or adolescent woman may remember placing a tampon, but then be unable to remove it from the vagina.
An adolescent patient may easily have a foreign body removed from the vagina in the outpatient setting. This may also hold true for adults. Visualization of the foreign body using a speculum and removal with a forceps may be the most efficient treatment.
These may include a CT ( computerized tomography) scan, MRI scan, or an abdominal X-ray. Ultrasonography may also assist in the location of a foreign body in the vagina or pelvis.
Once the foreign object is moved, antibiotics are generally not needed . In children, vaginal lavage or irrigation is the method of choice to remove small bits of fibrous tissue. Removal of larger objects may be accomplished in the outpatient setting or may require sedation or evaluation in the operating room.
