“…Like FGM/C, FGCS refer to various non-medical genital corrective surgeries (Abdulcadir, Irion, & de Tejada, 2015) including clitoridectomy, G-spot augmentation, hymenoplasty (Shaw et al, 2013) and perinioplasty (Gonzales-Alabastro, Eilber, Anger, & Berman, 2019). However, it is important to note that consent is a key aspect in the context of both FGCS and FGM/C.…”

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a dangerous practice that predates all religions and perpetrated on children for various reasons in various cultural and global contexts, causing adverse lifelong health consequences including sexual, physical and psychological problems for the survivors. Even so, there appears to be no documented work that brings together the major conceptual blocks on FGM/C, a gap this paper seeks to begin to fill. This paper summarises some major concepts on FGM/C as a resource and evaluates key evidence on the practice. While the practice of FGM/C is highly concentrated in Africa, the practice is spread out globally with a shift towards its medicalization among migrant communities and traditional settings. A focus of this paper is to propagate awareness and polarise debates to bring to an end to the practice of FGM/C globally.

“…Because of the lack of clinical data, the ACOG has suggested that all female genital surgery including labia minora reduction may have postoperative com- plications. For example, the altered sensation of the genitalia, dyspareunia, scarring and decreased sexual satisfaction may occur following female genital surgery [5,6]. Although, the effectiveness and safety following labiaplasty have been controversial [7], the high rate of patient satisfaction makes women undergo labiaplasty.…”

Background:The demand for labia minora reduction operation has been increasing nowadays but there have been some questions about the safety and effectiveness of labioplasty surgery.Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction among patients who have undergone labia minora reduction surgery. Methods:Patients who had undergone labia minora reduction from January 2015 to December 2015 were reviewed. The procedure applied in this study was edge excision technique.Results: Eighty-four patients underwent labia minora reduction surgery. Of these, 41 patients (48.8%) underwent labia minora reduction surgery in combination with other procedures. All of the patients were satisfied with the outcome of the edge resection surgery. The main operative indications were regarding labial appearance and functional discomfort. Of these, one patient (1.2%) experienced the complication of postoperative bleeding, which was recovered without any additional treatment. There were no serious complications requiring reoperation. Conclusion:Labiaplasty using an edge excision technique is an effective and safe operation, has a low complication rate, and makes patients satisfied with the outcome of the labiaplasty.

“…The search for beauty surgical procedures in the genital region is increasing, as shown in the latest survey by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons that reports a staggering 31% increase in uptake of cosmetic sur gery where women accounted for 92% of this uptake [3]. The main surgical procedure is the labiaplasty, supported by the discomfort or its bad appearance when women wear tight clothes, for instance, when practicing sports [2,4].…”

Introduction: We verified the relation between sexual function and genital self-image in practicing physical activity women in gyms Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study with 421 women (18-60 years), physical exercise practitioners, not pregnant. Excluded participants who did not meet completely the FSFI questionnaires (Female Sexual Function Index) and the FGSIS (Female Genital Self-Image Scale). Data collection was conducted through self administered questionnaires, filled individually containing sociodemographic and clinical information, the FSFI and the FGSIS. Results:We analyzed 384 women with the highest average age in exclusively female gym (40.26 ± 8.32 years) with respect to, of both sexes (31.8 ± 9.7) (p=<0.01). When comparing the FSFI and the FGSIS it found a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). A correlation (R=0.32) was found between the FSFI and the FGSIS with a p <0.01. When comparing the reliability of the FSFI and FGSIS answers, it was found an alpha Cronbach coefficient of 0.96 and 0.83 respectively. In multiple regression analysis it was observed the influence of genital self-image in sexual function (p <0.01), and the influence of sexual function in genital self-image (p <0.01). Conclusion:The results suggest that practicing physical activity women with adequate sexual function have more positive genital self-image.
