OBJECTIVES
To determine the prevalence and distribution of female genital mutilation (FGM) procedures in a Nigerian population.
METHODS
Five hundred consecutive women were evaluated for evidence of FGM. The WHO classification system was utilized. Demographic and sociocultural information was collected.
RESULTS
Thirty-four percent of women were found to have some type of FGM. Type I and Type II procedures were the most common. Fifty-five percent of women were unaware they had FGM and 62% with FGM did not know the reason. Twenty-one percent of women said they were going to have FGM on their daughters.
CONCLUSIONS
FGM is still broadly practiced among ethnic and religious groups in Nigeria. Educational efforts need to be directed at eliminating this practice.
目的
确定尼日利亚人群中女性生殖器切割（FGM）手术的患病率和分布情况。
方法
对连续500名女性进行FGM证据评估。采用世界卫生组织分类系统。收集人口统计学和社会文化信息。
结果
发现34%的女性有某种类型的FGM。I型和II型手术最为常见。55%的女性不知道自己接受过FGM，62%接受过FGM的女性不知道原因。21%的女性表示她们打算对自己的女儿进行FGM。
结论
FGM在尼日利亚的种族和宗教群体中仍广泛存在。需要开展教育工作以消除这种做法。
