Wooden Foreign Body in the Uterine Cavity in a Postmenopausal Woman: A Case Report
Foreign bodies in the uterine cavity, though uncommon, can result in significant gynaecological morbidity. This case report discusses a rare finding of a wooden twig in the uterine cavity of a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with persistent foul-smelling vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain. Diagnostic hysteroscopy revealed the intrauterine foreign body, which was successfully removed. This report highlights the importance of maintaining clinical vigilance for retained or introduced foreign bodies in postmenopausal women.
