A member asked:
Is it possible for foreign body to stay in intestine for 8 years depending on shape/size?or issues like perforation/fistula would definitely occur now
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be: better if you described the "object" in question to have a meaningful answer. However one suggestion may help. If it is RADIO_OPAQUE (dense enough like metal)it will show up on a simple abdominal xray! If not an MRI would do the trick...... Hope this is helpful Dr Z
