Female Genital Schistosomiasis

The primary manifestation of Schistosoma haematobium infection is female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). Women mistook FGS for a sexually transmitted illness or infertility due to its symptoms. Due to the low level of uncertainty among professionals in the field of human services, FGS is still pervasive and understudied among women of reproductive age who reside in areas where S. haematobium is endemic. A high degree of uncertainty will enable the detection of FGS prior to surgery and keep unnecessary procedures and incorrect diagnoses of STDs at bay.
