MEJIA RODRIGUEZ, Ulises  and  MEJIA RODRIGUEZ, Alex. Hymen injuries in medical legal recognition (MLR) for crimes against gynecological sexual freedom. Horiz. Med. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.4, pp.24-30. ISSN 1727-558X.

Objective: To determine hymenal injuries and genital, paragenital and extragenital lesions. Material and Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted January to December 2013. Results: 47 MLR were performed gynecological for crimes against sexual freedom; 38.29 % (18/47) corresponded to women between 15-17 years. The findings were: Integro hymen (18.92%), willing hymen (8.11%), Recent deflowering (8.11%) and old deflowering (72.97 %), among others findings. Conclusion: Older Defloration hymens may have new lesions, this due to the diameter of the hymenal orifice, there most often when the hymenal orifice is small to medium; unlike when the hymen hole is large or very elastic we face a complacent hymen which creates difficulties in recognizing injuries.

Keywords : Crimes against sexual freedom; Hymen; injury; newly deflowering; old deflowering.
