To discuss the medical, social and legal characteristics of the child sexual abuse and to provide a perspective for gynecologists on this topic.
A retrospective analysis was carried out of the medicolegal records of female children below the age of 18 referred to a tertiary teaching hospital and diagnosed as being exposed to sexual abuse within the family between the years of 2004 to 2012.
One hundred and thirty-nine cases were diagnosed as being exposed to sexual abuse during the 8 year period, 23 of them (16.5%) had been involved in sexual abuse within the family. Eleven out of 23 had been admitted as part of a legal process while the rest were reported by a third person.
Since sexual abuse within the family is a taboo in Islamic societies, the diagnosis can take a long time. Recognition of sexually abused children, providing early performance of medicolegal examinations, and applying standardized medical guidelines are essential to protect these children.
讨论儿童性虐待的医学、社会和法律特征,并为妇科医生提供该主题的视角。
对 2004 年至 2012 年间在一家三级教学医院就诊的被诊断为家庭内性虐待的 18 岁以下女性儿童的法医记录进行回顾性分析。
在 8 年期间,诊断出 139 例性虐待病例,其中 23 例(16.5%)涉及家庭内性虐待。23 例中有 11 例是作为法律程序的一部分入院,其余则是由第三人报告的。
由于家庭内性虐待在伊斯兰社会是一种禁忌,因此诊断可能需要很长时间。识别受性虐待的儿童,及早进行法医检查,并应用标准化的医疗指南,对于保护这些儿童至关重要。
