| Popis: |
The tradition of female genital mutilation (FGM) is practiced in many African countries, including Somalia. FGM is responsible for several short and long-term complications that can negatively influence vital and functional prognosis. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl subjected to FGM who developed urethral meatus stenosis, exacerbated by chronic renal failure and urine infection, leading to her death from a combination of complications. FGM complications, sometimes fatal, remain in developing nations. The fight against these practices must be stepped up, supported by public awareness, education, and communication efforts. |
