The self-insertion of a vaginal foreign body (VFB) is common in the female pediatric and adolescent age group. Prompt disclosure to parents usually results in a call to the primary care provider and a visit to the pediatrician's office, local emergency department, or urgent care center. However, some foreign bodies may go unnoticed for extended periods, causing distressing symptoms and complications. Large case series providing comprehensive epidemiological data on this topic are scarce. This review summarizes the current literature on VFBs and compiles best practices for the diagnosis and management of VFBs in the pediatric and adolescent population.
阴道异物(VFB)的自我插入在女性儿科和青少年年龄组中很常见。及时向父母披露通常会导致致电初级保健提供者,并前往儿科医生办公室、当地急诊部门或紧急护理中心。然而,一些异物可能会在很长一段时间内未被发现,导致令人痛苦的症状和并发症。关于这个主题的大型病例系列提供全面的流行病学数据非常少。这篇综述总结了目前关于 VFB 的文献,并汇编了儿科和青少年人群中 VFB 的诊断和管理的最佳实践。
