In cases of rape or sexual abuse, a medical examination is necessary. It is essential for the victim's health as well as to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Genital injuries can be very painful and can bleed heavily.
Genital injury can affect the reproductive organs as well as the bladder and urethra.
These objects may include toilet tissue, crayons , beads, pins, or buttons. To rule out sexual abuse, the young girl should be asked how the object got in her vagina. In young boys, one of the most common causes of genital injury is having the seat slam down while they are using the toilet. DO NOT volunteer your opinions about the circumstances. DO NOT accuse or confront the victim.
