Genital injuries send thousands to emergency care each year, study shows

Television shows and movies may portray people getting hit in the crotch as comical, but it's a serious issue that sends almost 16,000 men and women to U.S. emergency rooms every year, according to a study.

Bicycles, furniture and clothing are all items blamed for the injuries, which can go on to cause people physical, psychological and reproductive problems later on, said senior author Benjamin Breyer, an assistant professor of urology at the University of California, San Francisco.

"To put this in perspective, the yearly incidence of these (injuries) is almost twice as much as dental injuries, and about the same as electrical and chemical burns," Breyer added.


The team analyzed a national database of emergency room visits caused by consumer products, identifying all genital injuries to men and women 18 years and older between 2002 and 2010.

The injured body parts included, among other things, penises, testicles, bladders, kidneys and external female genitalia.

I think my brother is safe... He doesn't ride bikes or wear "skinny jeans". Now the croc's and furniture might be his downfall.

Well, I don't know about his personal hygiene requirements, but I would have to agree especially after his "Monkey butt" thread.

Give the poor guy a break. He just doesn't want to leave the spiders a place to hide.
