Abstract
Abstract Adolescent females who engage in sexual acts against their will, including sex trafficking, sex abuse, coercion, and molestation, may be at higher risk for sexual and reproductive health complications, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), menstruation disturbance, infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, reproductive cancers, dyspareunia, vaginismus, unplanned or unwanted pregnancies and chronic pelvic pain. Despite the high prevalence of sexual violence in the United States, a study reported in Women's Health Issues indicates three barriers to providing care for sexual assault (SA) survivors, from a physician's perspective, one of which includes provider discomfort addressing SA and another being provider-patient communication. This scoping review aimed to report the scope of the literature regarding gynecological outcomes in this population group.
