What is Sexual Trauma?
Genital trauma meaning injury to the genitals, can occur for a variety of reasons. Most often caused by sports injuries, accidents such as on a bicycle, or vigorous intercourse. Tears or injuries can also occur with childbirth. Sexual assault should also be considered.
Typical Symptoms of Sexual Trauma
- Pain or discomfort in the genital area
- Pain in my penis
- Vaginal bleeding or discolored discharge outside of your period
- Bleeding during or after sex
- Pain in the lower abdomen
- Affected area of skin has stinging or tingling
- Pain during sex
- Abnormal color, amount or odor of vaginal discharge
Diagnostic Questions for Sexual Trauma
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are you experiencing pain or discomfort in your genital area?
- Do you have pain in your penis?
- Have you experienced any vaginal bleeding or unusual discharge outside of your period?
- Have you experienced any bleeding during or after sex?
- Do you have pain in your lower abdomen?
Treatment of Sexual Trauma
Treatment depends on the injury sustained. It is common to receive stitches after childbirth to repair any tears. If there is concern for assault, it is suggested to report it to your medical provider and to the appropriate authorities so that evidence can be collected.

FAQs
Q.
What are the benefits of cloves sexually?
A.
Cloves may support sexual health by improving blood flow and arousal, offering antioxidant support that can modestly aid libido and hormone balance, protecting sensitive tissues, providing antimicrobial effects, easing mild pain, and reducing stress—benefits largely linked to eugenol and other phenolics. There are several factors to consider; see below for how to use them (tea, diluted oil, supplements, in food), important safety cautions (skin irritation, GI upset, bleeding risk, hormonal concerns), and when to seek medical care, since cloves are not a cure-all.

Q.
What is BDSM sex and is it safe?
A.
BDSM sex is a consensual spectrum of erotic practices involving bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism, built on negotiated power exchange, communication, and trust. It can be practiced safely when partners prioritize clear ongoing consent (including safe words), education/training, proper gear, and aftercare, though risks like bruising, nerve injury, emotional triggers, STIs, and legal considerations still exist. There are several factors to consider—see below for specific safety strategies, beginner tips, and warning signs for when to seek medical or mental health care that could affect your next steps.
