Interferon-based treatment strategies were more effective in terms of quality-adjusted life years saved and at the same time cheaper when compared with the strategy of no treatment.

Vaginal foreign bodies can cause long haul, foul-smelling vaginal discharge and vaginal bleeding and are typically found in female youngsters while looking into vaginitis and urinary tract diseases. There are many causes for vaginal discharges. Among them, vaginal foreign bodies are uncommon but not a very rare presentation. We had a case of a 49-year-old female, a widow, with para 2 living 2 and a history of menopause since three years; she was referred from a district hospital with a diagnosis of carcinoma of the cervix and was later found to have a foreign body, which was removed surgically through the vagina. A foreign body in the vagina is usually seen in children than in adults. Foreign bodies are inserted vaginally for treatment purposes, contraception, induced abortion, and sexual stimulation in adults. Here, we report a case of retained vaginal foreign body with vaginal fibrosis.
