self-stabbing

A form of self-harm is anything someone can do to purposely hurt their body.

In the United States, self-inflicted stab wounds account for approximately 3% of all suicides.

The abdomen is the site of injury in approximately 30% of men and 13% of women in cases of self-stabbing.

Kitchen knives are the most frequently used weapon for self-inflicted abdominal stab wounds, likely due to their availability.
