Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation, can lead to chronic urinary tract infections due to scarring and narrowing of the urethra, making it difficult to empty the bladder completely. This can increase the risk of urinary tract infections, which can lead to kidney damage if left untreated. While some studies have suggested an increased risk of complications like postpartum hemorrhage or early menopause, these risks may vary depending on the type and severity of the circumcision.
