A female genital mutilation survivor who nearly died from an infection after being cut with a dirty razor says she's taken her "power back" after life-changing surgery.<br /><br />Amani Abdallah, 24, was left in agony after the FGM procedure was performed - which involved narrowing the vaginal opening.<br /><br />She grew up in Sudan - where FGM is common practice - and was left struggling to urinate and in pain when she tried to be intimate with her partner.<br /><br />The mum-of-one even had to have a c-section to give birth because she couldn't face the trauma of giving birth naturally.<br /><br />But having her daughter, Maya, one, motivated her to have a surgery called deinfibulation - to open the vagina - and she can now urinate normally and have sex without being in pain.
