in CampusConnect2 years ago (edited)

Female circumcision or female genital mutilation(FGM) is the cutting of some or all of the external female genitalia,mostly the clitoris.
This is a practice carried out in many cultures with the belief that it helps to control a woman's sexuality and reduce her
sexual urges.It is also widely believed that the clitoris connotes maleness.Those who hold these beliefs insists that the
clitoris has to be removed or cut off for a female is accepted as an adult.
Some cultures claim that the female genitalia are dirty and ugly and needs to be scrapped off or cut off to enhance beauty
and cleanliness.
This practice is very dangerous to the health of the females as it can lead to the death of the victims.Some of the consequenses
of this practice includes;
RISK OF HAEMORRHAGE.This is means loosing lots of blood from damaged blood vessel in a short time.Cutting a female's
genitalia leads to uncontrollable bleeding which causes a lot of pain to the victim.
IT CAUSES PROBLEMS URINATING
IT LEADS TO CHILDBIRTH COMPLICATIONS:In some cases it becomes very difficult for the victim to get pregnant which is
very heart breaking.It also increases the risk of newborn death.
EXPOSURE TO INFECTION:The injury sustained during circumcision makes the victim very prone to life threatning infections.
The infection enters the blood stream through the open injury in the genitalia which may be very difficult to tackle.When
an infection is not able to be treated because of some certain reasons like circumcision,it may claim the life of the victim
DEATH:This is the most devastating effect of female genital mutilation.Excessive bleeding may lead to death,infections
due to female circumcision may lead to death,complications during child birth may lead to death.
Other consequenses include difficulty standing,walking,standing or sitting,severe pain,spending so much time in the bathroom
or toilet due to complications caused by circumcision
Female genital mutilation does not have any medical advantage therefore, it should be stopped.It is a violation of the right
of females and it is illegal.
