Generally
The title ;( Title Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Sudan and Subsequent Pelvic Floor
Dysfunction
Reflects the study accurately.
Subject it involves an interesting and important subject
It is not original
The message of the study is good and will have additional knowledge of the medical literature.
Abstract
The aim is to Evaluate the socio-demographic characteristics of women with female genital
mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and Pelvic floor dysfunction.
It is straightforward and easy to understand.
It is a good summary. It is well written
Retrospectively and single centre
Give your conclusion.
Background:
A good introduction of FGN
Method & Results
4320 women
who applied to the Sudan Nyala Turkish Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic
between
January 2018 and January 2019
prolapsus of genital organs and
528 women with pelvic organ prolapsus were included in the study and classified according to
the Baden–Walker Halfway scoring system.
Method
retrospectively and
single-centre and approved
Pregnant women,
women under 18 years old,
women without uterine or genital prolapse and women who had a history of prior pelvic surgery,
other treatments using like pessary for POP and women with FGM/C type 4 were excluded from
the study.
Results:
The prevalence of FGM/C was 87,2% in Sudan and
Type 3 (50.4%) was the most prevalent.
Type 3 (50.4%) was the most prevalent,
followed by Type 2 (35%) and
Type 1 (8.5%).
In the multinominal logistic regression analysis performed
Conclusions:
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) defined by the World Health Organization and
consists of all procedures that involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia
or another injury to the female genital organs whether for cultural or other non-medical reasons.
Especially type 2 and 3 FGM/C continues to be an important health problem in terms of
complications that may develop in advanced ages as well as many short-term complications as
a result of mechanical or physiological deterioration of the female genital anatomy.
The study is written in simple (English language with few spelling and grammar mistakes.)

Conclusions: Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) defined by the World Health
Organization and consists of all procedures that involving partial or total removal of the external
female genitalia or another injury to the female genital organs whether for cultural or other non-
medical reasons.
This should not be part of conclusion.
Especially type 2 and 3 FGM/C continues to be an important health problem in terms of
complications that may develop in advanced ages as well as many short-term complications as
a result of mechanical or physiological deterioration of the female genital anatomy.
