Foreign bodies present in the vagina for long periods of time are infrequent but potentially serious findings in adult women. Significant injury can occur to bowel, bladder or other pelvic structures. Repair of fistulae is delayed following removal of the foreign bodies until the chronic inflammation produced by the objects has resolved. Coexisting psychiatric illness or physical abuse may complicate the evaluation and treatment of some women with long-standing vaginal foreign bodies.
成年女性阴道内长期存在异物的情况并不常见，但却是潜在的严重问题。肠道、膀胱或其他盆腔结构可能会受到严重损伤。在取出异物后，瘘管修复会延迟，直到异物所产生的慢性炎症消退。并存的精神疾病或身体虐待可能会使一些患有长期阴道异物的女性的评估和治疗变得复杂。
