Sexual activity is one of the most intimate and enjoyable experiences that one can have. However, it can come with its own set of risks and hazards. From minor to severe injuries, sexual activity can result in varying degrees of physical harm.

Here are the top 30 injuries that can occur during sexual activity.

1. Abrasions and cuts

Friction during sexual activity can lead to abrasions and cuts on sensitive areas like the vagina, penis, or anus.

2. Bruised cervix

During rough sex, the cervix can get bruised, leading to pain and discomfort. This can also cause bleeding in some cases.

3. Strained muscles

Intense physical activity during sex can result in muscle strains, especially in the back, legs, and arms.

4. Fractured penis

In rare cases, vigorous sex or abnormal bending of the penis can result in a fracture. This can cause severe pain and swelling and requires immediate medical attention.

5. Chafing

Skin rubbing against skin during sexual activity can cause chafing, leading to irritation and uncomfortable burning sensation.

Forceful penetration during anal sex can lead to rectal prolapse, where the rectal tissue protrudes from the anus. This requires immediate medical attention.

8. Allergic reaction

Some individuals may develop an allergic reaction to condoms, lubricants, or other products used during sexual activity. This can cause swelling, itching, and other symptoms that require medical attention.

9. Bladder and urinary tract infections

Sexual activity can push bacteria into the urethra, increasing the risk of bladder and urinary tract infections. These can cause painful urination, frequent urination, and other uncomfortable symptoms.

10. Hemorrhoids

Anal sex can increase the risk of developing hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectal area that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding.
