Clitoridectomy is a surgical procedure involving the partial or complete removal of the clitoris, a small, sensitive organ located at the top of the vulva. This procedure is often associated with certain cultural practices and has been historically performed as part of female genital mutilation (FGM), particularly in some parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Clitoridectomy is usually performed for non-medical reasons, such as traditional or religious beliefs, rather than for health or therapeutic purposes. The reasons for performing clitoridectomy can vary widely, but often include cultural or societal pressures to conform to specific rites of passage or beliefs about female sexuality and modesty. The procedure is typically carried out in non clinical settings without anesthesia or proper medical supervision, though it can also be performed in medical settings under anesthesia. The complications associated with clitoridectomy are significant and can be severe. They include immediate risks such as severe pain, bleeding, infection, and shock. Long-term complications may involve chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, difficulty with urination, and problems with menstruation. Psychological effects can also be profound, including trauma and long-term emotional distress. In addition to these physical and psychological effects, clitoridectomy can have serious implications for a woman's sexual health and overall quality of life. Despite its prevalence in some communities, the procedure is widely condemned by medical and human rights organizations due to its harmful effects and lack of medical justification.
