Description
Alireza Babajani and colleagues report a woman treated for a foreign body that had sat in her cervix for four years. Their case report appeared in Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2026. The thirty-nine-year-old mother of three came to hospital in January 2024 with heavy vaginal discharge and fever. Examination found a woolen object lodged in the cervix, placed there years earlier as a traditional method meant to influence a baby's sex.
Ultrasound showed a spongy mass filling the vaginal canal. Under anesthesia, camera inspection of the vagina and uterus let the team extract a foul-smelling wool mass that had burrowed five millimeters into the cervical tissue. Biopsies showed foreign body reaction with mixed acute and chronic inflammation, and no spread to bladder or womb. Three days of antibiotics completed her recovery. The authors warn about retained objects and unproven traditional practices.
