Abstract：
Female genital mutilation has many sexual, physical, and psychological consequences. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C), and Sexual Function among circumcised women in Sardasht City, Iran.\"
In this present cross-sectional study, 197 women who were mutilated entered the study by simple random sampling from two healthcare centers in Sardasht, Iran. A gynecologist first performed a genital examination to identify the type of female genital mutilation of participants. Subsequently, Socio-demographic and FGM/C-related characteristics checklist and the female sexual function index questionnaire were completed by interview method. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23 software.
Type I and II of female genital mutilation were performed in 73.1 and 26.9% of the participants, respectively. The age range of performing female genital mutilation in type I and II of female genital mutilation was 4-10 years old in 67.4% and 71.1% respectively. Traditional practitioners/local women carried out the circumcision in all of the participants, and Sunnah/tradition was reported as the most common reason for doing this procedure. The average total score of FSFI index in type I and II of female genital mutilation was 23.5 ± 2.0 and 17.4 ± 2.39, respectively. In all domains of FSFI, women with type II of female genital mutilation obtained lower scores than women with type I.
Circumcised women have reduced scores in all domains of FSFI, and the severity of sexual dysfunction is related to the type of FGM/C. Considering the prevalence of female genital mutilation and its adverse effects, it is imperative to initiate cultural improvements through education and awareness. By educating and raising awareness among individuals about this issue, we can foster positive changes and address the problem effectively.

摘要：
背景：女性生殖器切割有许多性，物理，和心理后果。本研究旨在检查女性生殖器切割/切割(FGM/C)之间的关系，以及萨达什特市受割礼妇女的性功能，伊朗。\"
方法：在本横断面研究中，197名被肢解的妇女通过简单的随机抽样进入了这项研究，从萨达什的两个医疗中心，伊朗。妇科医生首先进行了生殖器检查，以确定参与者的女性生殖器切割类型。随后，通过访谈方法完成社会人口统计学和FGM/C相关特征检查表和女性性功能指数问卷。数据采用SPSS23软件进行分析。
结果：在73.1和26.9％的参与者中进行了I型和II型女性生殖器切割，分别。I型和II型女性生殖器切割的年龄范围为4-10岁，分别为67.4％和71.1％。传统从业者/当地妇女在所有参与者中进行了包皮环切术，据报道，Sunnah/传统是进行此程序的最常见原因。女性生殖器I型和II型FSFI指数的平均总分分别为23.5±2.0和17.4±2.39。在FSFI的所有领域，II型女性生殖器切割的女性获得的分数低于I型女性。
结论：受割礼的女性在FSFI的所有领域得分均降低，性功能障碍的严重程度与FGM/C的类型有关考虑到切割女性生殖器官的普遍性及其不利影响，必须通过教育和意识来发起文化改进。通过教育和提高个人对这个问题的认识，我们可以促进积极的变化，有效地解决这个问题。
