Research Notes on Vaginal Foreign Body Treatment
Bacterial infections or alteration in the normal bacterial flora of the vagina may be due to the presence of a foreign body altering the usual acidic environment of the vagina. Removal may be performed with the forceps or with a warm water irrigation of the vagina. Once the foreign object is moved, antibiotics are generally not needed.1
Fast Facts:
- Anesthesia at the time of removal may make the procedure more comfortable. 1
- Some patients may be able to remove the foreign body themselves by simply placing their finger in the vagina, locating it, and removing it.1
- Foreign objects or forgotten tampons may cause a vaginal infection.2
