Verification of the anatomy and newly discovered histology of the G‐spot complex

Abstract

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 G‐spot: an observational MRI pilot study

“…In comparison with the measurements presented in the study of Ostrzenski et al, significant differences were observed pertaining to the distance of the urethral meatus to the G‐spot complex, its height and thickness. Table compares our key anatomical findings with those of Ostrzenski et al…”

“…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…”

Re: The G‐spot: an observational MRI pilot study

“…Some years ago it was proven that the G‐spot does not exist, but is the female prostate, located in the pelvic urethra, therefore Ostrzenski et al . have not described the G‐spot, the ‘G‐spot complex’ is an incorrect term without scientific basis, and there are no MRI images of the G‐spot because it does not exist.…”

“…More recently, Ostrzenski et al. asserted anatomical proof of the G‐spot through dissections of eight Caucasian cadavers [54]. The tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and two additional specimens underwent immunohistochemical staining.…”
