Big Metallic Foreign Body in the Endocervix – A Case Report

Abstract

Foreign objects in the female genital tract neglected for a long period of time may lead to many clinical problems, most commonly recurrent vaginal discharge. The diagnosis requires detailed history and physical examination of the genital tract. Though very uncommon big metallic foreign body may be encountered in the endocervix. We present a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with vaginal discharge and failure of evacuation of retained products of conception to emphasize the importance of establishing a diagnosis of foreign body in the endocervix in suspected cases.
