How does a female who has been circumcised urinate?!


Question: Female circumcision removes the labia majora, the clitoris, and parts of the labia minora. The opening to the vagina is sewn shut, leaving a small opening for menstration.

Urination is from a different opening, and is unaffected. (The vagina and urethra are separate openings).

if you cant urinate you will die. so ya i guess they would have to be able to

Through her urethra, same as anyone else. Usually, as horrific as it is, female genital mutilation does leave the urethra open.

A circumcised female has her clitoris removed which has nothing to do with her urethra. She should be able to urinate normally.

the same way a female who hasn't been circumcised urinates.

They can still urinate usually but have much less sexual feeling because of removal of clitoris

as far as I know, female circumcision is removal of clitoris, which doesn't affect urination...

Circumsion involves removing the clitoris, which is nothing to do with the Urethra, where you urinate from. So, the same way everybody else does.

Sounds absolutely horrific.

Well, normally females do not get circumcised. It is even something that is consider cruel and unusual in other countried where its practiced. Urine doesn't even come from the part of the body that is circumcised, like a male. So it wouldn't affect urination.

female circumcision is the cutting off of the clit, often followed by the sowing shut of the vagina...not of the urethra.

Your clitoris (what is circumcized) isn't what you pee from... However, some female's who are circumsized also have their labia's sew shut which can nearly kill the poor girl because menstrual blood can't flow through well. Some girls even have the stitches RIPPED open on their wedding nights! I'm so glad I wasn't born in that culture...

Depending on the severity of the circumcision, she should be able to urinate just like everyone else.

The severity of the procedure ranges from only removing a tiny portion of the hood of the clitoris, to removing the entire clitoris, to removing the clitoris, and inner labia, to removing the inner and outer labia, to completely removing everything inside the outer labia and sewing the outer labia shut (there is a small hole left in these instances for urine and menstrual blood to escape). The more extreme, severe procedures are much, much more rare than removing part to all of the clitoris.

I was wondering that to after watching America's Next Top Model last night, But since a women has 3 holes, 2 up front and one in the back , I take it that when a women get circumcised they only sew the skin where the vaginal hole (the hole that they use to have sex), which is different from the hole where they pee from

You watched America's Next Top Model Last night didn't you! LOL!

Well, when a female gets circumcised, they merely cut off the clitoris and sew the opening to the vagina to prevent her from having sex and associating pleasure with sex and, of course, to ensure a man that he has a virgin when he marries her.
The opening to her bladder (urethra) is left untouched. (you do know that we don't urinate through our vagina right?).

They do leave a tiny hole so that her menstrual fluid can leave her body as well.

Wow - until today I did not realize that this actually took place. Apparently it is a cultural thing and is done so that the woman can no longer feel sexual pleasure. I read that they cut a hole for menstruation and urination, but that sex is completely painful and natural childbearth is nearly impossible. I'm sorry to give an opinion, but I feel that this is genital mutilation!
