T19: Foreign body in genitourinary tract
T19.2: Foreign body in vulva and vagina
The external female genital organs include the labia, the clitoris and the skin around the vagina. The vagina is one of the internal female genital organs.
If someone has a foreign body in their vaginal area, there can be various symptoms. The foreign body may be in the vagina or in the skin around the vagina. The area affected may be painful, for example. When there is a foreign body in the vagina, there may be a bloody and, possibly, evil-smelling discharge. If a foreign body stays in the body for a long time, inflammation and fever may occur.
