Sexual bruises are among the most common types of abuse that a person can receive. In some cases, this type of injury can be the first sign of physical abuse. Some people like the sensation of pain during sex, while others draw the line at hair pulling or extreme activities like getting burned or cut. Sexual bruises can remind them of those experiences.
Bruising is the most abusive injury seen in a suspected case of physical abuse
Bruises are one of the most common presenting symptoms of physical abuse. The location and pattern of bruising can help determine the type of abuse. For example, bruises on the buttocks or soft tissues suggest physical abuse.
In addition to sexual bruises, a child may have other injuries, including intracranial hemorrhage. These injuries can range from subdural or intraparenchymal bleeding, as in “shaken baby syndrome.” Fractures can also occur when a child is violently shaken or thrown.
The diagnosis of physical abuse depends on the history and physical examination of a child. Usually, a child is admitted to the hospital for a thorough workup and consult. If there are any underlying medical conditions, the differential diagnosis of physical abuse should be pursued. This is particularly important in cases where there is uncertainty or an alternative etiology.
Yeast infections
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a very common problem, and many of them can cause bruising. These infections can also cause fever and sore throat. However, these symptoms don’t necessarily mean you have an infection. So how do you tell if you have a sexually transmitted disease (STI)?
If you suspect that you have a yeast infection, the first thing to do is visit your doctor. Yeast infections can be very uncomfortable. Your vagina can feel like it’s filled with water, and you may even feel the itch. You may also notice a white or yellowish-green discharge, similar to cottage cheese. Some women experience pain during intercourse or when emptying the bladder. In more severe cases, the walls of the vagina may swell and become strawberry colored.
If you do have a yeast infection, you should avoid oral sex for at least two weeks to avoid passing the infection to your partner. You can also pass it to your partner through vaginal intercourse. A yeast infection can also spread to other areas of your body, like the nipples or anus. It is also possible to treat a yeast infection with over-the-counter creams.
Avoiding vaginal penetration
Sexual bruises can be a very painful condition, but they can also be avoided. For one, you should make sure you are fully aroused before you begin penetration. This will allow the vagina to relax, preventing friction and irritation. You should also use plenty of lubricant before penetration.
If you feel uncomfortable about having sex, you should consult a doctor for advice. This condition can be treated with proper medication. Bruises will fade away in a few days. If they persist, consult a doctor. You can also try pain-relieving creams.
Treatment
While you’re in a sexual relationship, you may experience bruising on the skin. This is common on the legs, knees, and arms. Bruising is caused by tiny blood vessels breaking and banging together. You can stop bleeding under the skin by applying ice to the area. This will help reduce the swelling and reduce the pain.
Cervical bruising typically occurs when you hit your partner’s cervix during intercourse. Bruising can also be caused by hitting the cervix with your fist, penis, or dildo. Certain sexual positions are especially high-risk for cervical bruising.
