Reality of the G‐spot and its relation to female circumcision and vaginal surgery (2009)
This study is a Explanatory research regarding All FGM/C with the following characteristics:
Author(s): Thabet Saeed Mohamad Ahmad
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: Sexual.
Objective: To clarify the reality of the G-spot anatomically,functionally and histologically,and to determine the possible effect of female circumcision and anterior vaginal wall surgery on the integrity and function of the G-spot
Study Population: Women with small to moderate anterior vaginal wall descent
Findings: Histological findings,results of the anatomical and sexual mapping of the anterior vaginal wall and sexual scores were recorded. The G-spot was proved functionally in 144 (82.3%) of women and anatomically in 95 (65.9%). The latter appeared as two small flaccid balloon-like masses on either side of the lower third of the urethra and were named ‘the sexual bodies of the G-spot’. These bodies were significantly detected in all histo-positive cases in the circumcised women and in the uncircumcised women who had small or average clitorises. The G-spot was also proved histologically in 47.4% of all cases and was formed of epithelial,glandular and erectile tissue. Sex scores were significantly higher in the histo-positive cases with sexual bodies but significantly dropped after anterior vaginal wall surgery. In contrast,female circumcision rarely alters the scores.
The G-spot is functional reality in 82.3% of women,an anatomical reality in 54.3% and a histological reality in 47.4%. Anterior vaginal wall surgery usually affects the G-spot and female sexuality,but female circumcision rarely affects them.
