Author(s): Abdulcadir J,Rodriguez MI,Petignat P,Say L
FGM/C Type(s): II,III
Health area of focus: Gynaecological.
Objective: To present the care offered and clinical outcomes of two women who received multidisciplinary care,including psychosexual treatment,with clitoral reconstruction in addition to reporting their longāterm outcomes,and the histology of the removed periclitoral fibrosis
Study Population: Women
Findings: The study shows a positive outcome in pain reduction and improved sexual function,self body image,and gender after psychosexual therapy and clitoral reconstruction. More evidence is needed about clitoral reconstruction to develop guidelines on best practices. Until research is conducted that rigorously evaluates clitoral reconstruction for its impact on pain and sexuality,we advise always offering a multidisciplinary care,including sexual therapy before and after the surgery
