Genital Trauma
DESCRIPTION
This guideline covers injuries to the female or male genital
area. Most are bruises (with swelling) or minor cuts that
heal readily in 3 or 4 days.
HOME CARE
For minor cuts, wash the area vigorously with soap and water
for 5 minutes. Then apply pressure for 10 minutes with a
sterile gauze to stop bleeding. For swelling, apply ice for
20 minutes (if tolerated). (For additional information,
see Skin Trauma. )
CALL YOUR CHILD'S PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF:
