Injuries were due to falling astride a firm object, consensual coitus, sexual assault, cold waxing and tight clothing. Urinary retention occurred in three cases. Site of injury, whether anterior or posterior, was evenly distributed irrespective of the mechanism of injury. Haematomas were treated conservatively and bleeding lacerations sutured. None required resuscitation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Non\u2010obstetric vulval injuries are uncommon (incidence 3.7%). All cases require assessment for vaginal, urethral, anal and bony pelvis injuries. This might require examination under anaesthesia. Conservative management of haematomas in the absence of acute haematoma expansion is favoured. The need to screen for sexually transmissible infections and pregnancy is important. Social worker and psychological support is important to reduce the incidence of long\u2010term psychological problems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1742-6723.12016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,30]],"date-time":"2012-11-30T00:58:33Z","timestamp":1354237113000},"page":"36-39","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Non\u2010obstetric vulval trauma"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Ian SC","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Women's and Newborn Services Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University of Queensland  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"O'Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Public Health Department Queensland University of Technology  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.72.6.1063"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2004.02.047"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-006-0228-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","first-page":"618","article-title":"Vulvar hematoma secondary to a human bite","volume":"32","author":"Mathelier AC","year":"1987","journal-title":"J.
