Female genital mutilation/cutting type IV in Cambodia: a case report

Abstract

Nontherapeutic female genital modifications can cause short‐ and long‐term consequences. Caregivers should promote women's self knowledge on genitals' anatomy and physiology, and psychophysical and sexual health. They should also inform on possible negative consequences of vulvar nontherapeutic alterations requested and avoid the medicalization of female genital mutilation.
