Abstract: Coital injury causing severe vaginal laceration is not uncommon during first coitus. However, hemorrhagic shock during consensual sexual intercourse is quite rare. In this report, there was one 30-year-old, 20-year-old one, and one 24 year-old women who suffered severe vaginal laceration and bleeding during the process of consensual coitarche. All subjects were transferred to the hospital in the condition of impending shock. We found that the lacerated sites were located at right posterior fornices in all cases. We postulate that these vulnerable sites of vaginal laceration may be due to the dextro-rotation characteristics of the uterus and the distensibility of the vagina in this area. The vaginal fornix can be extremely distended during sexual intercourse, making it vulnerable to laceration in this area. Besides, there was a disproportionate genital size in all three cases which may be a cause of vaginal laceration. It is critical that such patients receive a prompt diagnosis to provide efficient management. It needs only simple surgical skills to cure the injury if the vital signs are stable. However, those survivors may need further psychological consultation to prevent negative impact on their future sexual functioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
