Foreign Body Causing Recurrent: A Case Report

Abstract

Vaginal discharge in children and adolescent girls is acommon gynaecological complaint. In a recurrent or
unresponsive case of vaginal discharge, an evaluation to rule out a foreign body is recommended. A seven years
old girl presented with malodorous vaginal discharge for one month with history of suspicious forign body (drug
ampule) inserted in the vagina by the girl herself. On per/rectum examination (P/R), the patient was found to
have a longitudinal hard mass in the vagina, which was confirmed by x-ray of the pelvis. Examination under
anaesthesia and vaginoscopy revealed the presence of the ampule. The ampule was removed from vagina without
hymen rupture.
