BACKGROUND: Although prohibited by specific legislation in Australia, patterns of global migration underscore the importance for local clinicians to recognise and manage potential complications associated with female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). The incidence of antenatal depression in Australia is 10% and may be higher among those with a history of FGM/C (RANZCOG 2 statement: Perinatal Anxiety and Depression, 2012). The phenomenon of cultural embedding could represent a protective factor against an increase in mental health problems among these women.
AIM: To determine whether women who have undergone FGM/C are at greater risk of depression in the antenatal period as defined by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicentre retrospective case-control study was performed. Participants who had delivered at either of two hospitals, had migrated from FGM/C-prevalent countries and who had undergone FGM/C were assessed and compared with the control group, case-matched by language and religion.
RESULTS: Eighty-nine cases were included with an equal number of matched controls. No significant difference in the EPDS score was demonstrated when analysed as a continuous variable (P = 0.41) or as a categorical variable with a cut-off score of 12 (P = 0.12). There was no difference in the number of women who identified as having thoughts of self-harm between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: There was no identified increase in the risk of antenatal depression among women who have undergone FGM/C from high-prevalence countries. Consideration must be given to the utility of the EPDS in this population, as well as factors such as cultural embedding.
