An unusual medical case in Lviv: Thermometer discovered in the bladder after 8 years

Reports from across Ukraine reveal a rare and disturbing medical case in the Lviv region, where a woman lived for eight years with a mercury thermometer inside her bladder. According to the Telegram channel Труха⚡️Львів, known for rapid local news updates, the woman sought medical care following severe pain and chronic difficulties with urination.

Imaging tests performed at the hospital revealed the presence of a "stone-like structure" inside her body. Upon removal, it was discovered to be a mercury thermometer, which, during the eight years it remained in the body, had "accumulated salts and turned into a stone," as noted in the report by Труха⚡️Львів.

The channel Регіоналіті, which focuses on regional news, confirmed the details and added that the woman had suffered from lower abdominal pain for nearly a decade. The source highlights the complexity of the case, as the thermometer had become "encrusted in stone" inside the patient's body.

Although doctors succeeded in removing the foreign object, reports indicate that the patient still requires further surgical interventions due to medical complications caused by the prolonged presence of the thermometer in her body. As of now, no further details have been provided regarding how the thermometer reached its location in the woman's body.
