Answer
Dear Varsha,

I would suspect that your pain - if it has begun since the procedure - is most likely due to this clip. If it is on the cervix, it should be able to be removed with a pelvic exam. However, it is necessary that you have the results read by the doctor and the clip removed as it can be a potential source of inflammation/infection. I would assume this would be done free of charge by the doctor in question. Otherwise, take the results of the scan to another OB doctor as soon as possible.

I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
