In his concise elucidation of rape, he explained that the effects of rape can include both the initial physical
trauma as well as deep psychological trauma.
Although rape
victims commonly report injuries and issues with their
reproductive health after the sexual assault, rape doesn't
always involve physical force.
The most common and
lasting effects of rape involve mental health concerns and
diminished social confidence.
Physical Effects of Rape can arise from both forced sexual
assault and those not involving forcible submission, such as
drug assisted date rape. Forced sexual assault frequently
causes visible bruising or bleeding in and around the vaginal
or anal area and bruises on other parts of the body from
coercive violence. Alas, both forced and other types of rape
can have many other physical consequences:
Painful intercourse (with significant other)
Urinary infections
Uterine fibroids – non-cancerous tumors in muscle wall
Pregnancy
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – HIV, genital
warts, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and others
Psychological Effects of Rape
Victims experience both short and long-term psychological
effects of rape.
One of the most common psychological
consequences of rape is self-blame.
Victims use self-blame
as an avoidance-based coping tool.
Self-blame slows or, in
many cases, stops the healing process.
Other common
emotional and psychological effects of rape include:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – feelings of
severe anxiety and stress
Depression
Flashbacks – memories of rape as if it is taking place
again. Borderline
personality disorder,
Sleep disorders,
Eating disorders,
Dissociative identity disorder, Guilt,
Distrust of others uneasy in everyday social situations.
Anger,
Feelings of personal powerlessness–victims feel the
rapist robbed them of control over their bodies.
