Assessing the Infant/Child/Young Person with Suspected FGM/C -- Consent and Photography -- Pictures Without FGM/C -- Pictures with Potential Differential Diagnosis of FGM/C -- Pictures with FGM/C -- FGM/C complications |
| Summary |
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or injury to the female genital organs that are medically unnecessary (i.e., performed primarily for cultural or religious reasons), especially when done without the consent of the affected person. Different types and subtypes of FGM/C are carried out in different settings during infancy and childhood, usually before the age of 15. Although some pictorial and training tools are available, the existing literature has mainly focused on adults. Specific guidelines for the care of infants, children, and young people (I/C/YP) with FGM/C do not exist and iconographic training material is lacking. We herewith provide a visual reference and learning tool containing information and comprehensive iconographic material to be used as a guide for diagnosis of different types, subtypes, and complications of FGM/C, as well as differential diagnosis of pre and postpubertal I/C/YP physiological variations. This visual reference may be used as a standalone guide for the management of I/C/YP FGM/C and may be consulted by health care professionals (HCPs) working in different countries when examining I/C/YP with equivocal findings. In addition, the guide and accompanying text can be used to facilitate training of HCPs globally in making accurate diagnoses and managing different genital conditions/issues, while enhancing patient-provider communication, and enabling precise recording and reporting to government agencies, where required |
