Jessica Pin had a labiaplasty at 18. The surgeon went on to perform an extra part of the operation that she did not consent to…..and things went wrong. Rather than listen to what she was experiencing post-operatively and explore what might have gone wrong, he denied anything physically had occurred and suggested her symptoms were purely psychological.

This led Jessica to question many things; the information she had been given about our ideas around “normal” available to us all on the internet; the medical profession listening to patient real problems; a lack of validation that her symptoms were indeed physical; the medical education system in general and superficially how much does a specialist gynaecologist/obstetrician (even a female specialist) know about the female anatomy. The answers may shock you.

This is an important conversation that also addresses cosmetic surgery, the influence of the internet and social media, the scope of basic anatomy and its role in medical training and clitoracy, a subject every adult, male and female should know about.
