The hospital in Trinidad, CO famous for sx change operations has an unlikely solution for women who have suffered the mutilation of female circumcision. See the article here. A blog post about it here.
The World Health Organization estimates that 100 million to 140 million women worldwide, but especially in northern and central Africa, have endured female genital mutilation, or FGM.
Usually done to girls before age 15, the practice involves at least slicing off part or all of the exposed clitoris. In some cultures, the cutting is more extensive, and disfiguring. It's done occasionally by health care practitioners but most often by an older female relative.
This Dr. is skilled in reconstructive surgery and has made a way for women to have this life changing surgery.
