I believe that : Cutting off a woman's genitals would likely have an emotional impact similar to a male who had his genitalia cut off. Negative impact of mutilating females genitals include death, severe chronic pain, hemorrhage, urinary retention, urinary tract infections, keloid scars, strictures, fistula, incontinence, infertility, painful intercourse, painful periods, neuroma, recurrent infections, septic.
