Female infibulation
===Female infibulation===
Female infibulation is more complex. It includes excision of the labia majora and minora and sometimes the head of the clitoris. The vulva is sutured closed except for a small opening to allow for passage of urine and menstrual blood. The procedure is sometimes called ''pharaonic circumcision''.<ref name="peete2012" />
Female infibulation is classed as Type III female genital mutilation (FGM). <ref name="peete2012" />
