“…The primary outcome measure was to determine the characteristic anatomical features of the G‐spot, building on previous investigations . The secondary outcome measures were to identify the characteristic histological features of the G‐spot with H&E stain and ancillary immunohistochemical stains and whether H&E staining provides sufficient information to distinguish the G‐spot from the adjacent structures.…”

“…Increasing blood flow within the vaginal wall during the arousal phase of the female sexual response cycle has been well researched and documented . In April 2012, Ostrzenski documented and published historic results relating to the anatomical existence of the G‐spot …”

“…Based upon the anatomical existence of the G‐spot in the anterior vaginal wall as established by Ostrzenski, we formulated a hypothesis that the microscopic G‐spot must be represented by a specific histological tissue composition that distinguishes the G‐spot from the surrounding vaginal and urethral walls. To test this hypothesis we selected haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain and immunohistochemical stains using CD31, S100, D2‐40 and smooth muscle actin (SMA).…”

Objectives To expand the anatomical investigations of the G‐spot and to assess the G‐spot's characteristic histological and immunohistochemical features. Design An observational study. Setting International multicentre. Population Eight consecutive fresh human female cadavers. Methods Anterior vaginal wall dissections were executed and G‐spot microdissections were performed. All specimens were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E). The tissues of two women were selected at random for immunohistochemical staining. Main outcome measures The primary outcome measure was to document the anatomy of the G‐spot. The secondary outcome measures were to identify the histology of the G‐spot and to determine whether histological samples stained with H&E are sufficient to identify the G‐spot. Results The anatomical existence of the G‐spot was identified in all women and was in a diagonal plane. In seven (87.5%) and one (12.5%) of the women the G‐spot complex was found on the left or right side, respectively. The G‐spot was intimately fused with vessels, creating a complex. A large tangled vein‐like vascular structure resembled an arteriovenous malformation and there were a few smaller feeding arteries. A band‐like structure protruded from the tail of the G‐spot. The size of the G‐spot varied. Histologically, the G‐spot was determined as a neurovascular complex structure. The neural component contained abundant peripheral nerve bundles and a nerve ganglion. The vascular component comprised large vein‐like vessels and smaller feeding arteries. Circular and longitudinal muscles covered the G‐complex. Conclusion The anatomy of the G‐spot complex was confirmed. The histology of the G‐spot presents as neurovascular tissues with a nerve ganglion. H&E staining is sufficient for the identification of the G‐spot complex.

“…The question of whether the G‐spot does exist has raised controversy ever since it was announced. The long‐lasting lack of profound anatomical, physiological and imaging evidence for its existence has been addressed in recent times in part by the dissectional study of Ostrzenski et al, whose descriptions motivated us as radiologists to investigate their findings with up‐to‐date MRI modalities; a literature research concerning MRI‐based evidence for the existence of the G‐spot yielded no satisfactory results . We were able to identify a morphological entity in our MRI exams with a consistent and reproducible signal quality in T1‐ and T2‐weighted sequences in the majority (>60%) of patients that was correlated with the descriptive anatomical measurements of Ostrzenski et al…”

Objectives To identify a G-spot complex (GSC) in vivo in MRI examinations at 1.5 Tesla field strength.Design Observational study.Setting Single centre.Population Twenty-one consecutive patients (January-March 2014).Methods Imaging analysis of routine imaging protocols for usual medical indications with and without concomitant opacification of the vaginal cavity with inert ultrasound gel. The gel distends the otherwise collapsed vaginal walls, allowing for an improved discrimination of anatomic features. The macroscopic and histological results recently derived from the dissections of fresh cadavers by Ostrzenski et al. were translated into imaging characteristics to be expected in the respective MRI sequences (e.g. T1-and T2-weighted) in search of an in vivo correlate of the GSC. Age, menopause status, medical indication and diagnosis were co-variables.Main outcome measures To analyse primarily whether MRI imaging is able to depict a distinct morphological entity in vivo matching the GSC, based on anatomical descriptions published recently. The elaboration of an appropriate MRI-imaging protocol was a secondary aim.Results A total of 21 studies were obtained. A GSC was identified within the anterior vaginal wall in 13/21 patients (62%). In all, 10/ 21 (48%) had vaginal gel opacification. We identified a GSC in 10/ 10 patients (100%) with opacification in all three planes of the T2 images. This was only true for 3/11 cases (27%) without opacification.Conclusions There is evidence for an in vivo morphological correlate to the postmortem anatomical findings of a GSC described by Ostrzenski et al.; its visibility in MRI imaging can be significantly improved with vaginal opacification by ultrasound gel.

“…I'm greatly appreciative of the comments on my recently published article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine [1]. The authors of the comments suggested that my anatomical dissection on the fresh cadaver to establish the existence of the G‐spot is at best “ he has identified a possible anatomical constituent of whatever is ‘the G‐spot’—a still scientifically unresolved issue.…”
