Infibulation is the most severe type of FGM. This is where the female person’s outer lips and clitoris are removed, and her genitals are stitched up so that she cannot have sex, or cannot get any pleasure from having sex. A small opening is left, so that the girl can still go to the toilet and have her period. If a woman who has undergone this kind of FGM gets pregnant, her genitals then have to be unstitched to allow her to give birth. Her genitals are then sewn back up again after she has given birth.
