Siegel, M.D.: "Re: intravaginal compresses forgotten" I work in a teaching hospital, so I could see about 10 women with compresses left intravaginal for 10 or 15 days, and nothing serious happened except for the disgusting discharge.

I have had occasion to find forgotten sponges after vaginal delivery at the 6 week follow up check - most times women complained of a continued discharge and of course a quite disgusting sponge was then removed. I've never seen anyone with a problem related to one left in (I've found probably 5 or 6 [none left by me, btw]). I'm aware of no published data that would improve on empirical observation in this regard. If she went home on day 10 with no problems I can't see how she would have any problem after this. -- Paul Prior MD pprior@earthlink.net Don't Blame Me...

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
