TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Post-coital genital injury in healthy women: a review JO - Clinical anatomy A1 - Schmidt Astrup, Birgitte A1 - Lykkebo, Annemette Wildfang SP - 331 EP - 338 VL - 28 IS - 3 N2 - Female genital injury following penile sexual intercourse in healthy women is a matter of importance and debate in many parts of society. However, the literature on the subject is sparse. There are a few studies regarding minor injury that does not require treatment in adult, pre-menopausal women, a single study of adolescent women, and none regarding post-menopausal women. Larger lesions requiring treatment are described casuistically. The purpose of this article is to provide a short, easy-to-read review of the literature regarding the prevalence and nature of female genital injury following consensual sexual intercourse in otherwise healthy women.
