Exposed: why you should not circumcise your female child!!

Women suffer from FGM as young children from the operation, at the time of their marriage as adults and later during their child delivery. Female genital mutilation has detrimental effects on the physical and psychological health of the infants, girl-children and women operated. The degree of complications depend on various factors including the nature of the mutilation (excision or infibulation), the types of tools used, the physical environment of the operation, the skill of the operator and the physical response of the operated individual at the time of the operation.

1.Repeated urinary infection because of the narrowing of the urinary outlet which prevents the complete emptying of urine from the bladder.
