Hooks rarely tear out BUT in the event that one does or if the skin is torn, it is best to have a suture kit on hand to sew the wound shut.

You should wash as soon as possible. A shower is probably your best bet in this case. Make sure that you use soap and water as the soap will wash away most residue left behind from the semen and the torn condom. Try to refreain from douching as the procedure may actually push substances further in. If you're concerned about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), you should see your doctor and get tested as soon as possible. See similar questions...

We know an enormous amount about tears and we are learning more every day. Although it is a bit of a simplification, the tear film can be considered to consist of three layers. The most superficial layer is the oil layer produced by the oil glands in the lids. These oil glands are called meibomian glands. This oil layer coats the tear film retarding evaporation like a biological Saran Wrap. The middle layer is the aqueous layer. See similar questions...

In the majority of cases in people under 30 the meniscus can be repaired..or sewn together. As we age, and our tears become more degenerative in nature, the likelihood of a tear being "repairable" decreases dramatically and a removal of the torn portion is necessary to alleviate pain.

No. Many ACL tears can be treated non-operatively. Many factors go into the decision making process. Some patients have ACL tears and no instability symptoms. Others are profoundly symptomatic, even with simple stair climbing, turning and twisting. We do not know why some people are more symptomatic than others, which is why surgery is not the right answer for everybody. See similar questions...

Most ACL tears can be detected by experienced examiners as the knee joint will undergo abnormal movements when stressed. There is a variation in the normal range of these tests so the amount of movement is compared to the other knee. Sometimes these tests can be inconclusive immediately after an injury, due to excessive swelling. See similar questions...

ACL injury is associated with multidirectional sport (football, basketball, netball and skiing particularly), so refraining from these sports is a way to prevent injury, but often not acceptable to athletes. The mechanism of injury is often getting the foot caught in the ground while the body moves in another direction. In football, wearing boots with shorter stops helps prevent the foot getting caught in the turf. In all sports, a stabilising knee brace may offer some protection. See similar questions...

If you have stress incontinence, you may leak a small to medium amount of urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, exercise, or do similar things. If you have urge incontinence, you may feel a sudden urge to urinate and the need to urinate often. With this type of bladder control problem, you may leak a larger amount of urine that can soak your clothes or run down your legs. See similar questions...
