Female Genital Mutilation - what support is available?
FGM, also sometimes referred to as Female Circumcision, is widely recognised as a worldwide health crisis having an enormous negative impact on the wellbeing and health of many women.
Dr. Wagner has dedicated a significant amount of time and effort into providing advice and help to women who have been affected by FGM. A consultation and open discussion is highly recommended to discuss your individual situation. Help is available.
What can be done in cases of FGM?
A reconstructive surgical procedure, conducted entirely under local anaesthetic and with great care, loosens the existing scar strands at the entrance of the vagina, and, if at all possible, the clitoris can be rebuilt surgically.
Since each case is completely unique, a private consultation and discussion are required to be able to clearly outline what is possible.
What results are possible?
Since each situation is highly specific, the results we work towards are best discussed during a personal consultation. Favourable outcomes often include a lack of excessive tightness, a reduction of scar tissue, more complete control over urination, and the ability to enjoy intimacy without pain.
Most importantly to Dr. Wagner is the psychological benefit that reconstruction can bring in the reclamation of feeling fully like yourself.
Are there additional therapies that support healing?
There are several complementary therapies that Dr. Wagner recommends and specialises in.
A new form of treatment called ThermiVa®, which uses radio energy to gently and painlessly heat the internal tissue, has been shown to speed up the healing process through direct stimulation.
In addition, PRP therapy has a very beneficial effect on wound healing.
This therapy utilizes a compound extracted directly from your own blood cells to strengthen the connective tissue and naturally stimulate the formation of your own collagen.
What complication risks are there?
All surgical procedures can carry risks, however small. With surgical interventions, bleeding, infection, and scarring are always a possibility.
Dr. Wagner is highly experienced and takes extreme care to minimise these risks for you. You are encouraged to ask any questions you may have during your consultation. The highest level of safety and care is always our top priority.
Health insurance can often cover the costs if approved in advance. We will be happy to help you prepare any of the necessary forms required.
Our practice team will always advise you of the predicted costs before your treatment commences.
