Hello and welcome to HCM,
Swallowed metal stud will be impacted in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
Intake of bowel preparation drink will help to move the bowel contents and thus metal studs will also move out.
You can wait for the stud to move out and after that you are free from the meatal piece.
Thanks and take care
