Rolling Into Trouble: A Case of Ben Wa Ball Retention in an Elderly Female Patient

Ben Wa balls are often used for sexual pleasure and pelvic floor exercise. However, their use can lead to complications, including retention within the vagina. We present a case of a 64-year-old female, status post-hysterectomy 20 years prior, who experienced the loss of a Ben Wa ball during sexual activity. Despite multiple retrieval attempts, the ball remained retained until she was transferred to a facility with an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN), who was able to successfully retrieve the lost ball.
