What Is Foreign Object Removal?
Foreign objects can enter your body through a number of ways, including the eyes (like sand or sawdust) or through an opening in the skin (like a wood splinter). Aside from feeling uncomfortable, foreign objects create a risk of infection or other health complications when left untreated. If you believe or know that there's a foreign object embedded somewhere in your body, we advise scheduling an appointment at Urgent Care 365 & Aesthetics to have the item identified and safely removed. The friendly professionals at our Livonia, MI office will be happy to help you.
What Can I Expect During My Appointment?
For your appointment, we'll begin by trying to determine where the foreign object is in your body and the best way to remove it. Objects embedded just under the surface of your skin might be identified with a visual inspection while items deeper in the body may require an x-ray to locate. After finding the object, we'll remove it using fine instruments before disinfecting and bandaging the area to prevent infection. If the object is particularly deep or potentially dirty, we may recommend shots to lessen your risk of certain conditions (like tetanus).
How Do I Know If There's A Foreign Object in My Body?
In many cases, an object may become lodged under your skin or in your digestive tract without you realizing it at first. A few recognizable signs that you may have an object in your body that requires removal include:
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Infection
- Breathing problems (if the object is lodged in the sinuses or airways)
