Summary

Vaginal injuries from sexual intercourse are common, with 98 cases identified over 39 months. These injuries often require surgical repair and highlight the need for further research into causes and long-term effects.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Traumatology

Context:

  • Prospective study evaluating coital vaginal injuries.
  • Analysis of incidence, risk factors, and anatomical lesions over 39 months.
  • 98 cases documented, with a monthly incidence of 2.5.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence and risk factors of vaginal injuries.
  • To characterize the anatomical lesions resulting from coitus.
  • To identify specific sexual positions and patient demographics associated with injury.

Summary:

  • The study identified 98 cases of vaginal injuries due to coitus.
  • Patients were predominantly young (mean age 25) and multiparous.
  • Injuries occurred more frequently during the gynecological period and in specific sexual positions, often affecting the posterior cul-de-sac.
  • Surgical suture and antibiotics were required in most cases (92/98).

Impact:

  • Vaginal injuries from coitus are frequent and cause significant anatomical damage.
  • Highlights the need to understand etiopathogenicity, including hormonal, infectious, and partner-related factors.
  • Emphasizes the importance of evaluating long-term sequelae of these injuries.
