BACKGROUND INFORMATIONPelvic groin injuries occur under many circumstances, and the medical garment industry has addressed this problem in a variety of ways. It should be understood that pelvic groin injury can occur for both men and women, such as, a trauma to a man's or woman's genital area.
It should be appreciated that both men and women get injured in the groin or pelvic area, and so, for example, for a man's testicular trauma can be defined as any injury sustained by the testicles or scrotum. Types of such injuries include blunt, penetrating, or degloving injuries to the groin areas, and especially, genitals or genital areas. Blunt trauma to the pelvic area can be referred to as injuries sustained from objects applied with any significant force to, such as, the scrotum, testicles, or pelvic or abdominal or lower extremities region. This can occur with various types of activities. Such as, for examples, a kick to the groin, or an injury caused by a sports ball, such as, a baseball, a golf ball, a football, or the like. Penetrating trauma can be caused by injuries which are, for example, sustained when sharp objects, or high-velocity missiles hit the pelvic or groin area or region, such as, for example, a gunshot wound, a stab wound, and the like. Degloving injuries (or avulsion injuries) are less common, and they involve situations, where for example, the scrotal skin has sheared off, such as, for example, when a testicle, becomes trapped in heavy machinery. Furthermore, sepsis or kidney failure, congestive heart failure can also cause systemic edema or severe scrotal edema.
Testicular rupture or fractured testis refers to a rip or tear in the tunica albuginea resulting in extrusion of the testicular contents. Testicular dislocation is an uncommon and sometimes easily overlooked event that refers to a testis that has been relocated from its orthotopic position to another location secondary to blunt trauma. Most cases of testicular dislocation are the result of motorcycle crashes, and accidents, and one third involve both testicles. This is related to impact with the fuel tank, and the inguinal region is the most frequent site of displacement.
The most common cause of blunt force genital trauma is sports injuries. A further altercation can come from a kick to the groin. Other common etiologies, include, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and straddle injuries. Pelvic injury can cause significant testicular or scrotal edema or genital injuries. The cause of penetrating or blunt force testicular or labial injuries could be due to, for example, a gunshot wound, a blunt force trauma, a fall, a motor vehicle impact to the genital area, or abdomen, or lower body, to name a few. Other causes include stab wounds, self-mutilation, animal bites (usually dog), and emasculation. The degloving or scrotal or testicular injuries could be due to accidents incurred while operating heavy machinery, such as, for example, an industrial, farming accident, and the like.
Men or women that have undergone successful medical treatment after enduring testicular, or labial, or genital trauma may be advised by a medical professional to wear an athletic supporter that will provide additional support for the genitalia either while undergoing therapy or while engaging in physical activities. An athletic supporter (also known as a jock strap, or supporter) is an undergarment designed for supporting the male or female genitalia during sports or other vigorous physical activity.
However, because of the various forms and degrees of testicular, scrotal, genital or pelvic trauma, a typical athletic supporter may not provide the necessary comfort and support needed for the genitalia of a trauma victim. For example, for comfort, it may be necessary to elevate or the injured testicle or scrotum due to pelvic trauma or increased edema in the scrotal/testicular region or place compression for women. Athletic supporters do not address that problem, leaving the trauma victim to either endure the healing process in pain, reduce physical activity, engage in activities without adequate protection or in discomfort, or not to engage in any activity at all.
It should be appreciated that women also have similar trauma or injuries in the groin or genital area due to similar activities or accidents. The above-mentioned injuries and trauma are incorporated herein by reference for women, except scrotal degloving. Furthermore, women also have genital trauma, such as, for example, with childbirth, which causes labial swelling, however, currently there are no devices to assist them for such labial injuries or trauma. Some of the other types of genital injuries that women are exposed to could be bruising or swelling of the labia, vaginal laceration, straddle injury, to name a few.
This invention improves on the deficiencies of the prior art and provides an inventive unisex pelvic groin support garment with adjustable pouch, waist belt, and straps apparatus, and a method of using same.
