Abstract

Background: The primary reasons for labiaplasty usually revolve around aesthetic, sexual, and functional concerns. Upon delving deeper into these issues, it becomes apparent that sexual partners play a controversial role in influencing women's decisions to undergo surgery.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of sexual partners on women's choices to pursue labiaplasty.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across electronic databases covering the period from January 2000 to February 2024. After removing duplicates, a total of 931 articles were retrieved by searching keywords in titles and abstracts.

Outcomes: The meta-analysis revealed that 36.7% of women who sought labiaplasty cited their partners' negative comments as a factor influencing their decision.

Results: After applying the eligibility criteria and excluding irrelevant articles, a total of 12 articles involving 962 participants were included in the analysis. With the exception of 2 articles, the majority of the studies suggested a discernible influence of male partners on women's decisions to seek labiaplasty. Frequently, sexual partners are not the primary decision makers, nor do they exert significant pressure when it comes to seeking labiaplasty. In certain instances, women seeking labiaplasty acknowledged that their sexual partners did influence their decisions, either by making disparaging comments about their genitalia or by directly pressuring or requesting them to undergo labiaplasty. Additionally, women might opt for labiaplasty out of fear of their partner's negative remarks or to enhance sexual pleasure for their partners. For a more accurate result, a meta-analysis was conducted noting a considerable heterogeneity.

Clinical implications: The findings of this study can be applied in prelabiaplasty counseling sessions to acknowledge and explore the role of the sexual partner in women's decision making.

Strengths and limitations: This study stands as the inaugural systematic review examining the impact of sexual partners on women seeking labiaplasty, encompassing all original studies exploring the role of the sexual partner. However, a notable limitation lies in the varied interpretations of the sexual partner's role, that the heterogeneous nature of these interpretations poses a challenge to providing a more precise answer through meta-analysis.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of this systematic review, it is evident that sexual partners exert multifaceted influences on women's decisions to seek labiaplasty. While not serving as the primary decision makers, women opt for labiaplasty with the aim of enhancing attractiveness in sexual relationships and mitigating potential negative comments from their partners.

性伴侣在女性寻求阴唇整形手术中的作用:系统回顾和荟萃分析。
背景:阴唇整形手术的主要原因通常围绕美观、性和功能方面的问题。目的:本研究旨在调查性伴侣对女性选择阴唇整形手术的影响:方法:对 2000 年 1 月至 2024 年 2 月期间的电子数据库进行了全面检索。在删除重复文章后,通过搜索标题和摘要中的关键词,共检索到 931 篇文章:荟萃分析结果显示,36.7%寻求阴唇整形手术的女性认为伴侣的负面评价是影响其决定的因素:采用资格标准并排除无关文章后,共有 12 篇涉及 962 名参与者的文章被纳入分析。除两篇文章外,大多数研究表明男性伴侣对女性做出阴唇整形手术的决定有明显影响。在寻求阴唇整形手术时,性伴侣往往不是主要的决策者,也不会施加很大的压力。在某些情况下,寻求阴唇整形手术的妇女承认,她们的性伴侣确实影响了她们的决定,要么是对她们的生殖器发表诋毁性的评论,要么是直接向她们施加压力或要求她们接受阴唇整形手术。此外,妇女可能会因为害怕性伴侣的负面评论或为了提高性伴侣的性快感而选择进行阴唇整形手术。为了获得更准确的结果,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,结果发现存在相当大的异质性:临床意义:本研究的结果可应用于阴唇整形术前咨询,以承认并探讨性伴侣在女性决策中的作用:本研究是首次对性伴侣对寻求阴唇整形手术的女性的影响进行系统性审查,涵盖了所有探讨性伴侣作用的原创研究。然而,一个显著的局限性在于对性伴侣角色的不同解释,这些解释的异质性给通过荟萃分析提供更精确的答案带来了挑战:根据本系统综述的研究结果,性伴侣显然对女性做出阴唇整形手术的决定产生了多方面的影响。女性虽然不是主要的决策者,但她们选择阴唇整形手术的目的是为了在性关系中提高吸引力,并减少性伴侣潜在的负面评价。
