How this branch emerged? : History of Aesthetic Gynaecology

History is replete with examples that women have been objectified for pleasure , desire and exploited as a commodity. Emperors and Maharajas since ancient times have known to be keenly interested in sexual medicine in order to keep their women attractive and passionate.The term “vagina” was founded by Soranus as early as in 1600’s.

It was in the seventh Century A.D that Paulos Egineta first performed and described the first excision of enlarged labia.

Vaginal tightening has also been done for centuries via different methods which are over 1000 years old.Female physicial Trotula published “treatments for women ” in 1050 AD where she mentioned five non surgical treatments for “restoring virginity”.

Since then Cosmetic gynaecology has gained increasing recognition globally in terms of publications in journals ,dedicated internationally registered societies such as ESAG (European Society of Aesthetic Gynecology ) , IAVA (Indian Academy of vaginal aesthetics ) etc.

The dramatic transition has been in 21^st century , when the field starting gaining reputation as an elective and safe option for women seeking to get treatments for their intimate issues by choice.

Patients must be aware of the formal training and fellowship programs attended by the provider as well as the clinicians overall experience in the field.
