Abstract

Background: Coital lacerations vary from minor self-limiting vaginal injury with minimal bleeding, which do not require medical attention to life-threatening tear with severe bleeding which could progress to haemorrhagic shock and death if not promptly managed.
Case presentation: A 19-year-old senior secondary school student who presented to the gynaecological emergency unit with coital laceration in shock. She was resuscitated, and had repair in theatre.
Conclusion: Coital laceration is usually mild. It could be life-threatening in severe cases. Prompt diagnosis and management of severe cases will reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with it.

Keywords: Coital laceration, shock, life-threatening, morbidity, mortality.
