• Most genital injuries occur in men and may involve injury to the testes, scrotum, and penis. Genital injuries occur most commonly on the battlefield because of the ground explosives used there. Genital mutilation by removing the clitoris in females, which is done in some cultures, is a form of genital trauma and child abuse.
    Several types of injuries can affect the penis. The penis can be partially or fully severed. Reattachment of a severed penis is sometimes possible, but the extent of recovery of sensation and function varies. Constricting penile rings, applied to enhance erections, can possibly strangle the penis and cause permanent damage. Removing the ring is usually all that is necessary. Penetrating injuries, including animal and human bites and gunshot wounds, are less common and may also involve the urethra. Surgery may be required to treat injuries of the penis and injuries of the urethra.
