FORENSIC MEDICAL ASSESSMENT OF MECHANICAL INJURIES TO THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE OF MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS

Abstract

The article examines issues of forensic medical assessment of the severity of health damage and clarifies the mechanism of injury to the external structure of male reproductive organs—the penis. An analysis was conducted of treatment outcomes and forensic medical examinations of 21 individuals who suffered from blunt force trauma. Medical criteria for determining the degree of health damage are presented, taking into account the nature and types of injury, complications, and consequences of organ damage. It is noted that in cases of penile injuries caused by blunt objects, a direct mechanism of trauma predominates.
