About the Project

The patient decision aid

If you would like to have a discussion with a healthcare provider about Pharonic circumcision, also known as Type III or infibulation, you can fill this out before or at your visit. What you share in this form will help your provider know what matters to you.

What deinfibulation is

Deinfibulation is a minor operation to open the scar tissue and making the opening bigger. This is an option if the size of your opening is causing any problems, including with sex or peeing. It can help if you have a plan to have a baby. It can also help if your doctor needs to put a medical instrument in the opening.
