Introduction Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a prevalent, deeply rooted traditional practice in Egypt. Aims Specification of the motives behind the continuation of FGM/C in Egyptian community and evaluation of the sexual function in women with FGM/C. Methods This cross-sectional study, involved 2,106 sexually active female participants with FGM/C. Full history-taking and general examination to evaluate the type of FGM/C were conducted. Sexual function was assessed by using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. Main Outcome Measures Enumerate and specify the motivational factors and its percent among the participants. The correlation between FGM/C and FSFI domain scores was done with Pearson's correlation. Results Tradition, cleanliness, and virginity were the most common motives empowering the continuation of FGM/C (100%), followed by men's wish, esthetic factors, marriage, and religion factors (45.2–100%). Type I FGM/C was the most common, followed by type II. There was only negative correlation between the type II FGM/C and sexual satisfaction. No statistically significant difference between type I and non-FGM/C was found. Conclusions FGM/C remains high. A variety of socio-cultural myths, religious misbelievers, and hygienic and esthetic concerns were behind the FGM/C. Overall, a large proportion of the participants supported the continuation of FGM/C in spite of adverse effect and sexual dysfunction associated with FGM/C.

“…The role of culture, religion and occasionally myths cannot be understated when discussing FSD among a generally religious and conservative society. It is well known that female genital mutilation/circumcision (FGM/C) is quite prevalent in Egypt and recent estimates quote figures ranging from 74.5% to 95.8% . This predominantly cultural practice undoubtedly plays a part in FSD.…”

Background: Female sexual dysfunction is a condition that describes patients with low libido, problems with sexual arousal, inability to achieve orgasm, and dyspareunia. Although not consistent, studies have found that sexual complaints are common in women with pelvic floor disorders. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of vaginal wall prolapse on the female sexual function (FSF). Material and Methods: The study was conducted at Suez Canal University Hospital, Ismailia at outpatient clinic from October 2012 to April 2013. Sixty patients with vaginal wall prolapse were selected randomly. Data on female sexual function and satisfaction were obtained by female sexual function index questionnaire from 60 patients with vaginal prolapse and 60 controls women. The six domains of the female sexual function questionnaire (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) were compared between both groups. A score of 26.55 was defined as the optimal cut score between normal and pathological values. Results: The means of the six domains of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were significantly different between both groups (p <0.0001). There was a significant difference in the mean of the total score between patient and control group (20.92, and 28.03 respectively) taking in consideration that all women in the patient group had vaginal wall prolapse. Conclusion: Vaginal wall prolapse has a major poor effect on the female sexual function.
