目的：一些作者将女性生殖器割礼与难产和难产联系在一起，但世界卫生组织最近表示，没有科学证据证实这种关系。本研究的目的是比较在欧洲高收入社区的割礼和非割礼妇女之间的第二阶段tabour的持续时间。研究方法：1990-1996年，将68名来自非洲之角的行割礼的未经产妇女与2486名在瑞典一所大学医院分娩的未行割礼的未经产妇女进行了比较。分娩过程中常规进行排尿。调查结果：发现包皮环切术的妇女有第二阶段的禁忌，这是显着的统计学短（分别为35/53分钟，p < 0.001）和较低的风险延长禁忌比非包皮环切术组。结论：在拥有高标准产科护理的富裕社会中，分娩时间过长似乎与女性生殖器割礼无关。(c)2004爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: Several authors' associate female genital circumcision with obstructed and prolonged labour, but the World Health Organization recently stated that no scientific evidence confirms such a relationship., The object of this study was to compare the duration of the second stage of tabour between circumcised and non-circumcised women in a high-income community in Europe. Methods: Sixty-eight circumcised nulliparous women originally from the Horn of Africa were compared to a group of 2486 non-circumcised nulliparous who gave birth at a university hospital setting in Sweden, 1990-1996. Defibulation was routinely performed during labour. Findings: Circumcised women were found to have had second stage tabour, which was significantly statistically shorter (35/53 min, respectively, p < 0.001) and a lower risk of prolonged tabour than the non-circumcised group. Conclusions: Prolonged labour does not seem to be associated to female genital circumcision in affluent societies with high standards of obstetric care. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
