So, do you plan to remove your body jewelry before receiving medical attention? Usually, patients are asked to remove jewelry from pierced areas, in order to decrease complications after surgery. However, health care providers are choosing to leave body jewelry in place, out of fear that they may cause more harm than good. Patients should also be aware of possible infections and complications and report them to their health care providers. Signs, such as bleeding, cellulitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and scarring are just a few examples. Some signs to watch for include fever, shortness of breath, foul odor, and pus at piercing sites. Allergic reactions are more common among females than males. So ladies, BE CAREFUL!
