Clinical characteristics of adolescents and young adults requesting labiaplasty - A Finnish cross-sectional study.
Article in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionWomen request labiaplasty due to both physical symptoms and aesthetic concerns. Adolescent labiaplasty may carry higher complication risks than in adults; however, data are scarce. The primary aim of this study was to describe characteristics and comorbidities of adolescents and young adults requesting labiaplasty. The secondary aim was to examine labial dimensions in relation to reported physical and nonphysical symptoms. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Outpatient Clinic at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. The study population includes all young women <25 years of age seeking labiaplasty between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023. The participants were followed up to August 30, 2024. Data on several subjective physical and psychological symptoms, as well as objective measurements of labia, were collected from patient records. The proportion of young women referred to a plastic surgeon's assessment was recorded.
resultsAltogether 65 young women were included. The median age was 20.2 years (range 11.9-25.4), and 22 (33.8%) of the patients were minors. The median body mass index of the participants was 19.7 kg/m
conclusionsPsychiatric morbidity was common among young women seeking labiaplasty, underlining the importance of exploring mental health issues among these patients. Most women lacked obvious labial hypertrophy. Reported physical symptoms did not correlate with labia size. We suggest that all young women requesting labiaplasty should be met by a specialist team for appropriate patient counseling and evaluation.
