Female circumcision can cause primary infertility. Surgical deinfibulation resolved infertility, restoring sexual function and enabling pregnancy in a case study.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Gynecology

Background:

  • Female circumcision, a practice causing significant health issues, can lead to primary infertility.
  • Understanding the link between female circumcision and infertility is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old woman presented with primary infertility attributed to female circumcision.
  • The patient underwent a thorough medical evaluation and subsequent surgical deinfibulation.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention successfully resolved dyspareunia and improved sexual function.
  • The patient achieved pregnancy following the deinfibulation procedure.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of female circumcision's impact on fertility is necessary.
