Introduction: For improving vaginal rejuvenation and minimizing vaginal laxity, the increased demand for soft tissue fillers may give females seeking such therapies the chance to have better general health and sexual performance. To address a wider range of female health issues, and support a more all-encompassing approach to personal wellbeing as cosmetic treatments improve, it is crucial to research the possible repercussions of these minimally invasive operations. Methodology: The strength of pelvic floor muscles was measured using the Laborie Peritron 9300 (Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA) perineometer. A 110 mm long conical vaginal probe with a 26 mm diameter, that may extend to 33 mm under pressure, is a characteristic of this device. The vaginal probe is connected to the perineometer’s main body by an 80 cm plastic tubing. When the probe is squeezed, the gadget has a pressure sensor that tracks vaginal pressure. A silicone rubber sensor loaded with air is included into the probe itself, to detect pressure in cmH2O. The Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R) was used to measure the participants’ degrees of sexual distress, and this method made it easier to gauge the participants’ pelvic floor muscle strength. Results: The participants’ mean age was 39.43±2.12 years, and further demographic characteristics provided evidence that 44% of the participants were married for 10 years and had children; 36% were married for 5 years with no children; and 20% had been married for less than 5 years. Conclusion: Soft tissue fillers, which have shown a rise in popularity, are a viable means of resolving issues with vaginal elasticity and rejuvenation.

IntroductionWhile cosmetic gynecology has gained popularity, the training experience for obstetrics and gynecology residents in this area is limited and not standardized. The primary objective was to investigate the exposure of obstetrics and gynecology residents to cosmetic gynecologic procedures including hymenoplasty, labia majora reduction, vaginoplasty, G-spot amplification, labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and vaginal laser therapy. The secondary objective was to assess their comfort in performing the procedures after graduation. MethodsThis is a non-validated cross-sectional survey of obstetrics and gynecology residents and their exposure to cosmetic gynecology procedures. Using the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access System, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs in the United States were identified, and the residency program coordinators were asked to distribute the survey. Data regarding demographics, program-specific characteristics, and exposure to certain cosmetic gynecology procedures were obtained and reviewed. Participants' reported comfort with the independent practice of certain cosmetic gynecology procedures after graduation was also obtained. Descriptive statistics were completed. ResultsA total of 96 responses were received. Approximately 50% of participants were exposed to cosmetic gynecology during training. Moreover, 70.9% of residents disagreed that they would feel confident in defining the included procedures. Furthermore, 87.5% disagreed that they would feel comfortable performing the procedures independently. A minority of participants were also unsure of the indication for cosmetic gynecology procedures, with 15.4%, 7.1%, 5.7%, and 4% unaware of the surgical indication for hymenoplasty, vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and labia majora reduction, respectively. No participant knew the indication of surgery for vaginal laser therapy or clitoral hood reduction. ConclusionsIn the setting of current cosmetic gynecology training, nearly 90% of residents were not comfortable with these surgeries after graduation. Exposure to cosmetic gynecology for obstetrics and gynecology residents was limited. Without adequate exposure, residents may face difficulty performing procedures and managing complications after graduation. Therefore, standardizing resident training for cosmetic gynecology should be considered.
