ER doctors have shared the most common sex injuries they see on the job, revealing a shocking disparity between men’s and women’s experiences. Men are more likely to come in with injuries, which often occur during specific positions.
According to Dr. Barry Hahn of New York and Dr. Darris Gillespie of Georgia, the top six sex-related injuries leading to ER admissions include:
1. Penile fractures (cracked penis): caused by bending or a forceful impact
2. Trapped penile ring: when a sex toy becomes stuck due to swelling
3. Bruised vagina: often caused by devices or penetrative sex without sufficient lubrication
4. Foreign objects lodged in the rectum: people may stick objects in themselves for sexual pleasure, leading to accidents
5. Heart attacks during sex: sudden strenuous activity can trigger heart problems
6. Vaginal lacerations and injuries: cuts or bruises can occur due to penetrative sex or device use
ER doctors emphasize the importance of seeking immediate treatment if symptoms persist, as some injuries can lead to long-term complications.
The most common position associated with accidents is reverse cowgirl, where one partner is on top facing away from their lover. Dr. Gillespie warns that any non-missionary position carries risk.
While sex toys can be exciting, they also pose infection and complication risks. The doctors advise being cautious when inserting foreign objects into the body.
Recovery times vary depending on the injury, but some can take up to six weeks for penile fractures. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent long-term damage.
Experts stress that any unusual symptoms or pain during sex should be reported immediately.
