This Issues Paper by Jessica Malone from Women's Health Victoria, critically explores female genital cosmetic surgery to better understand what it is, who is undertaking it, and their reasons for doing so.
Women and genital cosmetic surgery notes that the incidence of female genital cosmetic surgery is increasing. This trend has been the subject of substantial analysis and opinion, but there is a lack of rigorous evidence on risks, efficacy, complications, and patient satisfaction. The author considers how both individual and sociocultural factors are likely to contribute to the trend, and how professional bodies, health professionals, and advocates might respond. It is intended as a starting point for further conversation, evidence-gathering, and action.
