A Qualitative Study on Women's Opinions and Attitudes on Cosmetic Gynecology

Öz

Aim: Having become a trend in elective surgery in recent years, cosmetic gynecology refers to all aesthetic interventions in the female genital organs. With the advancement of communication technologies and the increasing use of social media, the issues related to sexual organs, which have been accepted as social taboos, have gained attention by women. Therefore, this study aims to determine the knowledge and opinions of women about cosmetic gynecology. Subjects and Method: Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 women of reproductive age and the audio recorded data were analyzed through content analysis. Results: The data obtained were gathered under five main themes: Defining cosmetic/aesthetic gynecology, reasons for cosmetic/aesthetic gynecology, the effects of vulva-vagina deformities on women, the effects of vulva-vagina deformities on men, status of cosmetic/aesthetic gynecology in Turkey. These themes show that women know that cosmetic gynecology is an aesthetic surgery performed in the genital area and some of these women had some of these procedures done. The reasons for cosmetic gynecology were coded under the headings including aesthetic appearance, sexuality and physical ailments. Women have expressed the effects of genital organ deformations on women as not being able to enjoy sexual intercourse, being disliked by the opposite sex, being disturbed by their appearance, and depressed mood. Being alienated from women, decreased sexual intercourse, and turning to other women were the effects expressed by men. Conclusion: The results show that most of the women had heard of the field of cosmetic gynecology, that genital organ deformities had negative effects on men and women, and that they thought that the field of cosmetic gynecology was a promising profession. It is recommended that well-equipped health professionals provide care and counseling in order to inform women correctly on this issue.
