The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is expected to issue a warning today, cautioning women against genital cosmetic surgeries with names like “vaginal rejuvenation” and “designer vaginoplasty,” the WSJ reports.
今天美国妇产科学协会预期放出一个警告,用于使妇女对名如“更加年轻的阴道”和“设计更有弹性的阴道”等名称的生殖器整形手术提起注意,《华尔街日报》报道。
The surgeries have been featured on TV shows including Dr. 90210 on the E! network. But many gynecologists warn the the techniques — which some doctors claim can improve sexual fulfillment as well as changing the appearance of the genetalia — are unproven and carry risks including infection, scarring, nerve damage and loss of sensation.
包括E! network上放映的Dr. 90210等电视节目中都曾出现过此类手术。但是很多妇科医师警告这些技术——一些医生宣称即可增强性交感觉又可改变生殖器外观——是没有经过验证的,并且有着感染、产生疤痕、神经损伤以及感觉下降等风险。
“To do this for cosmetic reasons, and to say it will improve sexual fulfillment is totally absurd,” Thomas Stovall, past president of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons and a clinical professor at the University of Tennessee at Memphis, told the WSJ.
“因为整形原因做这种手术,并且说可以增加性交快感完全是无稽之谈,”美国妇外科医师科学年会的前主席、位于孟斐斯的田纳西大学的临床教授Thomas Stovall对《华尔街日报》说。
The surgeries range in cost from $3,500 to $20,000. David Matlock, a Los Angeles gynecologist who is one of the best known doctors performing the procedures, declined to be interviewed by the WSJ.
该手术的费用从3,500美元到20,000美元。David Matlock,一名在洛杉矶广为人知的该手术的施术者,拒绝了《华尔街日报》的采访。
But in a statement, he said, “Many surgeons come to me to receive training on how I perform these procedures. Since I have developed a good amount of expertise over the past 12 years, I feel my techniques are the gold standard of care.”
但是在一份申明中,他说,“很多外科医师到我这里来接受这个手术的培训。既然我在过去12年中对这么多技术进行了改进,我认为我的技术是这种手术的金标准。”
