美国的临床医生越来越多地遇到遭受女性生殖器切割的女孩和妇女。为了与这些患者建立更加信任的关系，保健提供者必须准确了解这种做法的文化背景，对可能遇到的不同类型的切割女性生殖器手术有实用知识，并认识到急性和长期并发症。其中一些并发症可能是致命的，正确的临床诊断可以挽救生命。
Clinicians in the United States are increasingly encountering girls and women who have undergone female genital mutilation. To foster a more trusting relationship with such patients, health care providers must have an accurate understanding of the cultural background surrounding this practice, a working knowledge of the different types of female genital mutilation procedures that may be encountered, and an awareness of both the acute and long-term complications. Some of these complications are potentially fatal, and the correct clinical diagnosis can be lifesaving.
