“…Predisposing factors in urological complications of coitus included forceful and vigorous coitus [3], congenital vaginal anomalies necessitating urethral coitus [4], penovaginal disproportion [5,6], aberrant coital acts or positions [7–9], previous complications [10] and young age [6]. Phimosis and a short frenulum have been held responsible for preputial lacerations [11].…”

Objective To ascertain the urological complications of coitus, as the proximity of the lower urinary tract to the organs of coitus exposes the tract to coital trauma. The complications have been termed`faux pas' implying that they are preventable. While the ultimate prevention is abstinence, this is an unrealistic prescription. Therefore, efforts are necessary to identify risk factors to enable preventive strategies. Materials and methods

“…20 Zipper injuries most often occurred in prepubescent boys, which is consistent with previous single institution series. 21,22 The number of these injuries could be greatly reduced if boys at greatest risk for zipper related scrotal or penile injuries wore jeans with snaps or buttons. A similar number of injuries occurred due to the toilet seat falling on the penis.…”

Purpose We describe the epidemiological features of pediatric genitourinary injuries, and determine the products and events that may predict an increased risk of genitourinary injury during childhood. Materials and Methods The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System was queried to identify children 18 years or younger who sustained genitourinary injuries and presented to emergency departments in the United States between 2002 and 2010. Demographics and injury characteristics of these children were analyzed. Analyses were performed with adjustments for sample weighting and the stratified survey design. All data are reported as national estimates along with 95% confidence intervals. Results Based on 10,286 actual cases, an estimated 252,392 children (95% CI 205,579–299,194) sustained genitourinary injuries during the 9-year study period. Children 4 to 7 years old were most frequently injured (36.8% of all injuries), followed by those 8 to 11 years old (20.6%). Girls comprised 55% of the injured children. The yearly incidence of genitourinary injuries was stable across the period studied. The most commonly injured organs were female external genitalia (37.7%), penises (21.6%) and testicles (12%). Genitourinary injuries were most commonly associated with sporting and exercise equipment (35.7%), furniture (15.5%) and clothing items (11.9%). Of the patients 91% were treated at the emergency department and discharged home. Conclusions Genitourinary injuries in children result in approximately 28,000 emergency department visits yearly. Efforts should be made to decrease the risk of genitourinary injuries in children by promoting the use of protective gear and safer product selection for those at greatest risk for injury.

“…Techniques such as using plyers or bone cutters to break the median bar of the zipper, and then dislodge it from the teeth, have also been reported [2,3]. However, these reports were mostly in children whose parents sought immediate medical attention while the injury was still recent and minimal.…”
