We sorta figured out on our own that unnecessary cosmetic surgery on your vagina is bad for you, but now a report from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is
making it official. According to the report, there are no studies or scientific data supporting the efficacy of procedures such as "vaginal rejuvenation," "designer vaginoplasty," and "G-spot stimulation." Oh, and the report says that it's possible that someone could take a knife or syringe to you down there, but there's no real proof that they've changed anything for the better (or changed anything
at all) because "standard medical nomenclature" is not used in regards to the procedure. Yikes! But what we found most troubling was this:
Also of concern are ethical issues associated with the marketing of these procedures and the national franchising in this field. Such a business model that controls the dissemination of scientific knowledge is troubling.
As you'll remember,
we investigated this whole bullshit business of vaginoplasty a few months back. We showed our (very normal) labia to some doctors, who we found through an extensive print campaign advertising the performance of the procedure, and through a PR firm that the one of the doctors hired to get the word out there about vaginoplasty.
