1John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
Abstract:
The term 'female genital mutilation' refers to a range of irreversible procedures that alter the anatomy of a woman's genitalia. It is estimated that 132 million women worldwide have undergone such procedures, and a significant number are now living in the UK. Health care professionals need to understand the physical consequences of these procedures and the cultural issues surrounding them if they are to provide sensitive care that meets the needs of this group of women.
