In this episode, Huda Mohammed, who is an FGM Specialist and Pelvic Health Midwife from the charity Vavengers, discusses the Impact of FGM on Women's Health.

Women who have undergone FGM often face a myriad of health complications that can affect them throughout their lives. We discuss:

  • Physical Pain: Chronic pain and discomfort during intercourse, menstrual cycles, and childbirth.
  • Psychological Trauma: Many women report feelings of trauma, anxiety, and depression related to their experiences with FGM.
  • Infections and Complications: Increased risk of urinary tract infections, complications during childbirth, and infertility issues.
