Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the psychological impacts of female genital cutting on women living in the UK, using semi-structured interviews with 13 participants.
- Four main themes were identified from the interviews: (1) the struggle with feelings of wholeness, (2) the connection between sexuality milestones and awareness of cutting, (3) efforts to maintain family relationships, and (4) the notion that cutting is done for the women's own benefit.
- The results emphasize that women's experiences and perceptions of the psychological effects are deeply interconnected with their social relationships and environments.

Materials & Methods: A multiple choice questionnaire survey was offered to 76 parous women at the Maternity Unit, University College Hospital, London, UK.
