We've seen similar research on cosmetic genital surgery discussed in the news: dailymail.co.uk/health/arti.... And whether procedures should be available on the NHS: bbc.co.uk/news/health-24942981

If you have any questions about the study above (it is free online), you can tweet them as part of this journal club. Or for longer questions there's a Facebook page: facebook.com/BlueJournalClub

Or follow the hashtag #BlueJC to follow the critique. Although the scenario is set up for gynaecologists, the editors are keen to answer your questions about the study.
