- Abstract
Masturbation, a common sexual behaviour, may result in life-threatening injuries. Here, the authors present a case of 40-year-old female patient, P2L2 who presented to the Gynaecological Emergency unit, on account of a three-hour history of bleeding per vagina following candlestick masturbation which resulted in a 4 cm right lateral vaginal fornix laceration and accompanying Hypovolaemic shock. She was separated from her husband for a period of two years. She underwent examination under anaesthesia and repair of vaginal laceration. Postoperatively, she had one unit of blood transfused and was discharged home on haematinics, broad spectrum antibiotics and analgesics. Counselling on marital stress and sexual distress was provided, while encouraging the use of adult sex toys in favour of improvised ones when necessary.
