The G shot has been available for several years and costs around £1000. It involves pumping collagen into the inner wall of the vagina where the G spot is said to be found. The bigger G spot is then supposed to increase the number of orgasms a woman can have and also make them more intense.
However, critics in the medical profession insist Dr David Matlock’s jab has no medical benefits at all and say the cosmetic surgery has potentially harmful side effects that could actually harm women sexually.
Some doctors believe women who say they have benefited from the G shot are actually only feeling a placebo effect and have convinced themselves that their sex lives have improved because of the injection.
In an article in the London-based Daily Mail, Dr Petra Boynton, a senior lecturer in international healthcare research at the University College of London, said a self-help book or consulting a sex therapist would be cheaper and more effective for women seeking an improved sex life.
In the same article, consultant plastic surgeon Paul Banwell said the possibility of harmful side effects such as scarring or a loss of libido existed and without proper research and evidence to support the efficacy of the G shot, he could not support giving it women.
One British-based cosmetic practitioner does offer the procedure. Lucy Glancey said she believed the procedure was completely safe.
Until further evidence is offered of any harm done by the G shot, the cosmetic procedure will continue to be offered and taken up by women keen to enjoy a more orgasmic and intense sex life.
