Abstract
Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) is among the neglected gynecological manifestation of urogenital schistosomiasis in Tanzania. Little is known about the challenges in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of FGS in Tanzania. The challenges could potentially threaten the successful control of the FGS. Therefore, the letter explains the challenges in the FGS management and recommends the appropriate measures that could be taken to initiate the fight against the FGS in Tanzania.
