Abstract

Genital injuries of 61 patients who were at least 60 years of age were treated in 17 West Berlin departments of gynaecology from 1970 to 1979. 39 cases were due to coitus. Rape was responsible in 5 cases. Various other causes were recorded in 15 women. The etiology of the laceration remained unknown in 2 cases. Sexual dysfunction due to age-related changes of the female genital tract resulting in injuries represents a specific problem of geriatric gynaecology.
