During vaginal intercourse in the missionary position with legs tilted all the way back, the penis reaches its deepest penetration and the extreme rotation of the uterus leads to hyper distention of the vaginal wall, which in some cases can cause it to rupture.

Besides placenta previa and placental abruption, uterine rupture can occur, which is a very serious condition leading to internal or external bleeding.

Penile fractures are the result of rupture of the tunica albuginea. They are fairly rare and can co-occur with partial or complete urethral rupture, though this is rare. [2] [3] [4] Urethral damage occurs in 10–38% of cases. [1] Fractures are treated with emergency surgery, and can be diagnosed with ultrasound, especially in pediatric cases.
