Author(s): Fourcroy Jean L
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: Sexual,Gynaecological,Obstretic,Psychological.
Objective: To review the available literature on the impact of culture on a woman’s sexual satisfaction,with emphasis placed on information from cultures practicing female genital circumcision (FGC)
Study Population:
Findings: FGC provides a spectrum of surgical excisions and outcomes. The spectrum of FGC surgical excisions can alter well‐being,obstetrical outcomes,and sexual responses. The psychologic aspects of a painful procedure in a young child may also impact her future sexual responsiveness. There is a paucity of information on which to base conclusions and the effect of culture on a woman’s sexual satisfaction. Preliminary data suggest the need for further research using markers specific to the culture and her satisfaction
