Genital Injury

Does this describe your symptom?

 
  • Injuries to the female genital area (labia, vulva, vagina).
  • Injuries to the male genital area (scrotum or penis).
  • Most are bruises (with swelling) or minor cuts that heal rapidly in 3 to 4 days.
  • Minor injuries can cause lots of bleeding here because of the rich blood supply.

If not, see these other symptoms
