Actually this isn't that. It's a rarer type of urogenital stone, like bladder or kidney stones. This type, called a Primary vaginal stone, is caused by urinary stasis. They most commonly occur in people with urethrovaginal fistulae or with unusual postraumatic or postsurgical scarring. They can also occur in people with intersex conditions due to differences in the body. The patient in this case has cerebral palsy and is paraplegic, which resulted in incontinence and leakage into the vagina and thus the formation of the stone.
Secondary vaginal stones are more interesting, IMO, and are formed around foreign bodies like IUDs, implanted meshes, pessaries, or surgical gauze. The body sort of... Makes a pearl around the thing and tries to get rid of it. Super weird.
Bodies are so fucking gross. I'm going to be thinking about this and cringing all day. So, uh, thanks for that I guess!
