Objective: Female genital mutilation, which harms women physically and psychologically, also causes serious problems in sexual life that continue throughout life. This study aimed to determine the impact of female genital mutilation on sexual outcomes in Ibadan, Nigeria. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data from 161 women who agreed to participate in the study. After the data were collected, the sample group was divided into two groups those with female genital mutilation (84) and those without (77), and they were compared in terms of sexual outcomes. Results: Type I (77.3%) and type II (22.7%) mutilations were found in women with female genital mutilation. It was determined that women with FGM experienced statistically significantly more pain and bleeding during vaginal penetration than uncircumcised women. At the same time, the orgasm rate was found to be statistically significantly lower in this group. Conclusions: Our study revealed that female genital mutilation and enlargement of the incision area negatively affect sexual health
