Hello everyone! I'm looking for some help and advice about the common injuries of strangulation. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have experienced it first-hand. I know that it can cause a range of physical and psychological difficulties, but I'm not sure what the most common injuries are. If you can share any insight on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Physical Injuries

Strangulation is a form of asphyxiation, meaning when a person’s breathing is hindered or stopped completely. Common physical injuries of strangulation include neck and throat bruising, broken cartilage in the neck, and swelling of the facial and neck tissues. Strangulation can also lead to more serious injuries such as fractured ribs, collapsed lungs, and permanent damage to the larynx or trachea. Additionally, strangulation can cause unconsciousness, brain damage, and even death.

Psychological Injuries

Strangulation can also lead to psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Victims of strangulation may experience fear, nightmares, flashbacks, and difficulty sleeping. Victims may also experience difficulty focusing, emotional numbness, and increased irritability. Additionally, victims may suffer from physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and chest tightness.

Long-Term Effects

Victims of strangulation may suffer from long-term effects, such as difficulty swallowing, chronic pain, and changes in speech. Victims may also experience difficulty breathing, increased sensitivity to noise, and weakened vision. Additionally, victims may suffer from disorientation, confusion, and poor memory.
