What if my dyspareunia is caused by FGM?

If your pain during sex is related to female genital mutilation (FGM), it’s important to know that specialist support and treatment are available. FGM can cause scarring, narrowing of the vaginal opening, or muscle tightening, which may lead to significant discomfort or pain during intercourse.

At Welbeck, our women’s health consultants offer sensitive, confidential care for women affected by FGM. Our clinicians work closely with you to ensure that care is delivered safely, respectfully, and in line with your wishes. If you have experienced FGM, you’re not alone – support is available, and treatment can help improve both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing.
