Genital trauma
View through CrossRef
Genital trauma is the commonest type of both blunt and penetrating external trauma. Unlike renal trauma, the diagnosis is mainly clinical and the treatment is commonly surgical but the degree of trauma is rarely life-threatening, albeit a potential cause of infertility or erectile dysfunction. Iatrogenic trauma does occur but most trauma is blunt or penetrating external non-iatrogenic trauma. The commonest type of significant blunt trauma is penile fracture due to sexual intercourse or masturbation. Scrotal trauma causing a ruptured testis or haematocele is less common. Penetrating trauma can occur as a result of animal or human bites, or as a result of amputation other sharp injury, or as a result of gunshot wounds or other military injuries.
