Every type is usually performed on a child who cannot consent.

Every type can cause severe pain, bleeding, infection.

Urinary and menstrual problems and just lifelong complications.

So since some or all of the labia is removed or the vaginal opening is deliberately narrowed, it creates serious risks during sex, v again, menstruation and childbirth.

just no mild version of genital mutilation.

There can be recurrent infections.

You know, childbirth is just complicated and dangerous.

FGM is normally carried out between infancy and age fifteen.
