Abstract

The practice of female circumcision (FC), particularly female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), has been controversial as it is regarded as physically and mentally harmful and violates human rights. The purpose of this study is to perform a scoping review aiming to evaluate and compare the effects of FC and FGM/C on the sexual function of the affected women, including the Google Scholar, EBSCO Discovery Service, PubMed, ProQuest Health & Medical Complete, and Wiley Online Library between the year 1999 to 2020. The following keywords were used: ‘Female Circumcision’, ‘Female Genital Mutilation, ‘Female Genital Cutting’, ‘Female Circumcision and Sexual Function’, and ‘Female Circumcision and Sexual Satisfaction. A total of 72 articles related to FC and sexual function or satisfaction were retrieved, and 30 articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on the analysis of the final 30 articles, most of the articles described the detrimental effects of FGM/C on sexual function and sexual satisfaction. However, future studiesMaround the less invasive types of FGM/C are required to better reflect on FGM/C on female health. FGM is detrimental to female sexual satisfaction. However, a different method of FC that is less invasive may provide different outcomes. Therefore, a comprehensive guideline on proper FC techniques is needed for education among medical practitioners to prevent any adverse effects on sexuality.

女性生殖器切割及其对性功能和性满足影响的范围综述
女性割礼(FC)的做法,特别是切割女性生殖器官(FGM/C),一直是有争议的,因为它被认为是身体和精神上的伤害和侵犯人权。本研究的目的是进行一项范围审查,旨在评估和比较FC和FGM/C对受影响妇女性功能的影响,包括谷歌Scholar, EBSCO Discovery Service, PubMed, ProQuest Health &医学完整,和Wiley在线图书馆之间的1999年至2020年。使用了以下关键词:“女性割礼”、“女性生殖器切割”、“女性生殖器切割”、“女性割礼与性功能”和“女性割礼与性满足”。共检索到72篇与FC和性功能或性满意度相关的文献,其中30篇符合纳入标准。根据对最后30篇文章的分析,大多数文章描述了切割女性生殖器官对性功能和性满意度的有害影响。然而,未来的研究需要围绕侵入性较小的女性生殖器切割类型,以更好地反映女性生殖器切割对女性健康的影响。切割女性生殖器官不利于女性的性满足。然而,另一种侵入性较小的FC方法可能会提供不同的结果。因此,需要一个关于正确的FC技术的综合指导方针来教育医疗从业者,以防止对性产生任何不利影响。
