Dr. Sujnanendra Mishra

Abstract :

Intravaginal foreign body in children is not a rare event. Early detection and removal prevent complications related to retention for long duration. Children insert variety of objects such as toys, safety pins, hair grips, pencils, small jam jars, sweets, hairpins, and toilet paper into the vagina out of the curiosity. We present a case where hemisected groundnut shell was inserted by a 4-year girl. It is important to exclude sexual abuse in such Cases. Several prospective studies on association between Vaginal Foreign Bodies and sexual abuse suggest routine evaluation for possible sexual abuse in each and every case.
