Foreign objects can enter the body in a multitude of ways; however, the most commonly affected parts are the skin, ears and eyes. The decision to remove a foreign object from the body by a medical professional will depend on what has been inserted into the body, and where. The decision to remove the foreign object is then left up to the medical doctor based on the symptoms, risk of complications, and if removing the foreign object may cause more trauma than simply leaving it in place. If the foreign object is causing pain, or is life-threatening or obstructing an airway, it must be removed. Always seek out medical attention if a foreign object is stuck in an airway or anywhere that cannot be retrieved easily.
