Abstract
Vaginal foreign bodies were hyperechoic compared with adjacent tissues and often had characteristic echo patterns. The use of combined transperineal and transabdominal ultrasonography might be helpful in diagnosing foreign bodies, especially when the size of the foreign body is larger than 5â¯mm. Therefore, ultrasonography might be preferred for the initial evaluation of suspected vaginal foreign bodies, because it is a noninvasive, radiation-free, and inexpensive technique.
