Overview:<\/h3>\n

Over 200 million women and girls globally – half a million in the U.S., live with the consequences of female genital cutting\/mutilation (FGM\/C). Yet, for centuries, FGM\/C has remained a hidden tradition. FGM\/C is a human rights violation and survivors often live in silence with long term consequences including pain, sexual dysfunction, recurrent urinary tract infections and psychological trauma. Survivors remain undiagnosed by healthcare professionals and the practice continues. The false belief that this only occurs in rural parts of Africa must be shattered as FGM\/C occurs to women of all backgrounds in all parts of the world except for Antarctica. It is imperative that health care providers recognize survivors and girls at risk for FGM\/C. In this discussion we will highlight what management of FGC from a generalist or primary care perspective might look like, as well as how to approach the matter with both patients and colleagues in a culturally sensitive manner.<\/p>\n
