“…In addition to the general health problems caused by FGM, like urinary track infections and recurrent local infections, FGM has obstetrical consequences, especially in cases of infibulation (Vangen et al 2002;Eke and Nkanginieme 2006;Small et al 2008;Carolan 2010;Boama and Arulkumaran 2009). Small et al compared pregnancy outcomes for Somali-born women with those of women born in receiving countries.…”

“…The acquired causes may be iatrogenic including female genital mutation or circumcision4 – 6 and vaginal reconstructive surgeries7 resulting in painful keloid formation, labial adhesions and vulval disfigurement,5 , 6 vulval disease such as lichen sclerosis,8 psychosexual problems leading to vaginismus (often associated with a history of sexual abuse, trauma or rape), or as a result of malunion of stress and insufficiency pelvic fractures.…”

A 49-year-old woman with history of rheumatoid arthritis presented with worsening pelvic pain. A pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a fracture and a lytic expansile lesion within the right superior and inferior pubic rami. The diagnosis of "insufficiency fractures secondary to rheumatoid arthritis" was established. Six months later, she started describing pain and fullness sensation in the vagina which eventually led to a complete apareunia. An x ray confirmed healing of the previous fractures, fracture of both left superior and inferior pubic rami, and an upwards shift of the right hemi-pelvis. Conservative management was chosen. Twelve months later, no improvement occurred and she was still apareunic. A "corrective osteotomy surgery" was performed and the displaced pubic rami and ischial tuberosities were remodelled bilaterally through a vertical incision over each labia majora. These bones were partially excised until an adequate vaginal opening was established. Her symptoms have impressively resolved with complete reverse of the apareunia.

“…We searched all original articles that were published between 1966 to 2006 on FGM (k=789). The search for the later resulted in the selection of five (5) eligible articles ( 25-27, 29, 30) whereas the former resulted in seven (7) eligible articles (10,(15)(16)(17)(18)(21)(22)(23). As part of the exclusion criteria, we included only the most comprehensive articles from author/s if two (2) or more articles were published on the same study population in different years.…”

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) which involves alteration of the female genitalia for non-medical grounds is prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa, associated with long-term genitourinary complications, and possible HIV transmission. This minireview aims to examine FGM and the possibility of HIV transmission through this procedure. We performed an electronic search using Medline for articles published between 1966 to 2006 for evidence of FGM practice, its complications, and the nexus between this procedure and HIV sero-positivity. The results indicate ongoing FGM practice, albeit prevalence reduction, due probably to the increasing knowledge of the consequences of FGM as a result of non-sterile techniques. Secondly, the complications of FGM are well established which include Genitourinary disorders. Further, while data is limited on HIV transmission via FGM, there is biologic plausibility in suggesting that FGM may be associated with increasing prevalence of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper recommends further studies in order to assess the association between FGM and HIV transmission. RÉSUMÉMutilation génitale féminine: Potentiel pour la transmission du VIH en Afrique subsaharienne et la perspective pour l'enquête et l'intervention épidémiologiques La mutilation génitale féminine (MGF) qui implique la modification des organes génitaux féminins pour des raisons non médicales est répandue en Afrique subsaharienne et elle est liée aux complications génitaux-urinaires à long terme et peut-être à la transmission du VIH. Cette mini-étude a pour objectif d'examiner la MGF et la possilibité de la transmission du VIH par cette procédure. Nous avons recherché sur l'internet à l'aide de la medline des articles publiés entre 1966 et 2006 pour l'évidence de la pratique de la MGF, ses complications et la liaison entre cette procedure et la séropositivité du VIH. Les résultats montrent que la pratique de la MGFse poursuit bien que la prévalence soit réduite dû probablement à la croissance de la connaissance des conséquences de la MGF à cause des conséquences non-stériles. Deuxièment, les complications de la MGF sont bien établies y compris les troubles génitaux-urinaires. De plus, alors que les données sont limitées par rapport à la transmission du VIH par la MGF, il y a une plausibilité biologique de suggérer que la MGF peut être liée à la prévalence croissante du VIH en Afrique subsaharienne. L'article préconise encore d'études pour permettre d'évaluer le lien entre la MGF et la transmission du VIH. (Rev Afr Santé Reprod 2007; 11[1]:33-42)
