dc.description.abstract | Female genital mutilation (FGM) is the procedure that intentionally alters or causes injury to
the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. This term refers to all procedures that
involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. More than 50,000 women
born in a country practicing Female Genital Mutilation are now living in Sweden. Health Care
Professionals treat these women every day with little knowledge or education on these
women’s culture or FGM in general. The sexual Health of these women is often ignored in the
belief that these women cannot experience a normal healthy sex life. However these women
due experience orgasm and many have an intact clitoris under an infibulation scar. Health
Care professionals need a broader general education that includes an emphasis on cultural and
patient centered care. | sv |
