Abstract
Examination after sexual offence or rape The examination of women after a sexual offence consists
of detailed documentation and the assessment of injuries,
securing evidence, the prevention of an unwanted pregnancy
as well as an infection with sexual transmitted
diseases (like Aids and Hepatitis), laboratory investigations
(for example concerning alcohol and drug influence),
psychosocial aid and clinical therapy. The women should
be psychologically supported concerning posttraumatic
stress disorder. The investigation and interpretation of the
genital and extragenital injuries as well as the securing
of evidence requires professional experience. The aim of
this article is to communicate an understanding of the
basics and the fundamental procedures particularly to resi -
dent doctors, who work far from an Institute of Forensic
Medicine.
The article provides help for the examination of patients
over the age of 14 years. In younger victims, the study findings
and interpretation should be left to colleagues who
have specialized in the examination of children.
