Abstract

An analysis has been performed of 95 expertises in men, who asked for compensation of after-effects in injury in their sex life. The regions most frequently affected were sexual organs, the head, the pelvis and the lower spine. Roughly one half of the examinees reacted strongly to the injury and its consequences. The most frequently reported symptoms were erectivity disturbances. The greatest subgroup consisted of men who had a rational attitude to an objective organic finding (about 38%). The second place is occupied by men in whom it was not possible to prove any somatic changes, but whose psychic reaction to injury was distinct and pronounced (about 31%). Roughly two out of three men reported a deterioration of their working capacity after injury and/or a disturbance of their interpersonal relations. Only 5% of the examinees underwent an expert examination during the first year following the injury. It is stressed that administrative procedures for damages should be performed with maximum speed especially in cases where there were no objectively proved after-effects.
