Abstract
Excision of some parts or all of the vulva may cause the tissue of the area to become dense and hard because of scarring.
These conditions may cause two major obstetric problems for the woman and the baby:

Thus, the aim of this study consists of three folds; the first fold was to assess the prevalence of female circumcision and its degrees among primiparous women at Assiut University Hospital, the second fold was to assess the impact of female circumcision on the perineal damage among these women and the last fold was to evaluate motives of female circumcision and intention to prepetuate the procedure.

Methids of data collection were structured interviewing questionnaire and observational sheets which include assessment sheet to evaluate the degree of circumcision if present and current delivery sheet to follow up the condition up till delivery.
