External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more pigmented, and hairless. While the...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Non-obstetric vulval trauma is a rare presentation in emergency departments.
  • Understanding the mechanisms, injury patterns, and management is essential for optimal patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the mechanism, injury pattern, and management of women presenting with non-obstetric vulval trauma.
  • To determine the incidence and characteristics of these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, single-institution case series was conducted.
  • Data from 2007-2011 were analyzed, including patient demographics, injury type, mechanism, and treatment.
  • Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 11.0 was used for analysis.

Main Results:

  • Non-obstetric vulval trauma occurred in 19 of 519 cases (3.7% incidence).
  • Common injuries included hematomas, lacerations, or tears (16/19 cases).
  • Mechanisms varied, including falls, consensual coitus, sexual assault, and cosmetic procedures; urinary retention occurred in 3 cases.

Conclusions:

  • Non-obstetric vulval injuries are infrequent but require comprehensive assessment for associated injuries (vaginal, urethral, anal, pelvic).
  • Conservative management for hematomas is preferred; surgical intervention for bleeding lacerations.
  • Screening for STIs and pregnancy, alongside psychosocial support, is vital.
