It constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women due to the health consequences, pain, and risks involved. Regardless of its prevalence, the physical and psychological complications of FGM in Egypt were shown to be enormous.

The primary complications include pain, bleeding, and psychiatric trauma while the secondary complications include several emotional, menstrual, and sexual disorders
