MEDtube Science 2019 - Gynaecological management of sexual assault victims
Case description
Sexual assault is a crime which extremely violates victim’s integrity, often leading to strong psychological trauma. Appropriate management of sexual assault victims, both from the medical and the medico-legal side, requires cooperation of the physician examining the victim with law enforcement agencies. Proper collection and preservation of evidence is essential. Physicians should be equipped with a special kit for examination of sexual abuse victims, including a form with specific questions and a diagram for graphic illustration of the injuries. Both physical and gynaecological examination should be performed very gently.
