Consequences of Female Genital Mutilation on Women’s Sexual Health – Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

202131 citationsOpen accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

Analysis of studies showed that there is a significant decrease in the total FSFI score, indicating that FGM of any type may cause impaired sexual functioning. But a firm conclusion on this topic is not yet achievable because the results of this analysis do not allow to conclude a cause and effect relationship of FGM on sexual function.
