  • Title: Sexual Abuse in Children: What the General Practice Ob/Gyn Needs to Know.
    Author: Adams JA.
    Journal: Clin Obstet Gynecol; 2020 Sep; 63(3):486-490. PubMed ID: 32366764.
    Abstract:
    The medical evaluation of a child who may have been sexually abused can be a challenge for physicians who are unfamiliar with the wide variation in normal genital anatomy in prepubertal girls. Signs of injury are rarely found, unless the child is examined within 72 hours of the event. This article will provide some history about how guidelines for medical care of these children have been developed, and list some of the findings that are normal or normal variants, caused by other conditions, or due to trauma or infection.
