Correct answer: E — Arrange specialist obstetric review and discuss planned deinfibulation
The best answer is “Arrange specialist obstetric review and discuss planned deinfibulation”. Previous FGM may have important urinary, sexual, psychological and birth implications. Care should be trauma-informed and delivered through an appropriate specialist obstetric and FGM pathway, with discussion of examination, safeguarding where relevant and deinfibulation when indicated. It should not be ignored, managed solely as infection or determined by a partner.
