Overview of Female Genital Cutting

Introduction Female genital mutilation (FGC) is a careful treatment that often deforms female genital organs for purposes other than medical purposes, often causing pain and complications. More than 125 million girls and women are currently affected by this ceremony. This program is mainly conducted in 29 countries in Africa and the Middle East. Generally, women's circumcision is done by midwives who received non-medical training, but trained medical professionals have recently provided services.

Women's sexual ablation is a social practice that depends greatly on cultural beliefs and norms, and customs and traditions are the reasons most frequently quoted in female genitomy. By continuing tradition, communities practicing female genitomy maintain their habits and maintain their cultural identity. Many people involved in the practice of female sexual ablation have entered the tradition deeply enough to believe that female genital resection is normal that it is unlikely that women will not undergo surgery25. In addition to the pressure exerted by the tradition, there are three continuous female resections. Main reason: female sexual orientation, social pressure and religious beliefs

Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital excision and female circumcision, is a ritual cutting or removal of one or all external female genital organs. This practice exists in communities in countries where Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and women's genital mutilation is widespread. In 2016, UNICEF estimates that 200 million women living in 30 countries (27 countries, Indonesia, Iraq Kurdistan, Yemen) have accepted these procedures. Blades are usually used by traditional circumcasters and FGM is done from a few days old to young adults. In countries with country-specific data, most girls are disconnected before the age of 5. Procedures vary by country and country. Removal of clitoris food and clitoris glans, removal of labia labia, removal of labia minora and labia labiae, closure of the vulva.

Female genital mutilation and female genital mutilation (FGC) have three types of FGC, so female circumcision is more accurate. The first is clitoris resection to cut and / or remove clitoris of all or part of the clitoris. The second is to remove and remove the clitoris, hood and labia minorae (inside folds of the vulva, responsible for creating lubrication). Penis is the third and most fundamental, removing all of the resection of the labia majora and the external pleats of the vulva. Once removed, both sides of the vulva are sutured and leave small holes (roughly pencil size) for the flow of menstruation and urine. The FGC tradition can be traced back more than 1000 years ago and even practiced in Asia, the Far East, parts of Europe, Asia, South America, and even certain ethnic groups in the USA.
