Abstract
Vaginal pessaries still have a role in the management of uterine prolapse, particularly in elderly patients. Foreign body in vagina is common in young children such an event in adults is rare. We present two case of long forgotten vaginal foreign body (pessary) detected 35 and 24 years after its insertion in a 84 and 67 year old lady. Both the patients presented with malodorous and occasional bloody discharge per vaginum. Both of them were suspected for cancer of cervix and were referred to Gynaecological Oncology department. They were found to be having an impacted ring pessary and it was removed with some difficulty. The patients are asymptomatic thereafter. A review of the relevant literature was undertaken and complications associated with vaginal pessaries are reviewed.
