Genital mutilaton/ episiotomy's

May 25, 2000

Stacie, just have to agree with you 100% on the episiotomy's....and the

latest medical reports from Jama, ACOG, Lancet, etc.etc. all say not to use

it unless it's deemed necessary...as you said, lets hope more doctors keep

up with these latest studies.

Now... speaking of genital mutilation, (not the change the subject) YEah

right!!.. haha..

But I was looking up Clitoral Fusion, etc.etc. and I ran across about 8

articles on how to do surgery to diminish the Labia Majora, (smaller lips)

for cosmetic reasons. I WAS SICK TO MY STOMACH. Described it in detail

how and where to cut and stitch, etc. One of the places that surprised me

were the Dutch, and Africa, I expected.. one was from France and some

countries I don't remember.

Thank god I didn't see any from the USA. Just hard to believe this takes

place in this day and age. Oh, and I know all about the clitorectomy, in

fact complete vulvectomy in some 3rd world countries... As a right of

initiation in girls as young as 12. God is that infuriating...and what a

way to keep a woman subserviant.. sorry off subject here, I couldn't help

it. Dee
