  • Genital Piercings: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications for Urologists Thomas Nelius, Myrna L
    Ambulatory and Office Urology Genital Piercings: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications for Urologists Thomas Nelius, Myrna L. Armstrong, Katherine Rinard, Cathy Young, LaMicha Hogan, and Elayne Angel OBJECTIVE To provide quantitative and qualitative data that will assist evidence-based decision making for men and women with genital piercings (GP) when they present to urologists in ambulatory clinics or office settings. Currently many persons with GP seek nonmedical advice. MATERIALS AND A comprehensive 35-year (1975-2010) longitudinal electronic literature search (MEDLINE, METHODS EMBASE, CINAHL, OVID) was conducted for all relevant articles discussing GP. RESULTS Authors of general body art literature tended to project many GP complications with potential statements of concern, drawing in overall piercings problems; then the information was further replicated. Few studies regarding GP clinical implications were located and more GP assumptions were noted. Only 17 cases, over 17 years, describe specific complications in the peer-reviewed literature, mainly from international sources (75%), and mostly with “Prince Albert” piercings (65%). Three cross-sectional studies provided further self-reported data. CONCLUSION Persons with GP still remain a hidden variable so no baseline figures assess the overall GP picture, but this review did gather more evidence about GP wearers and should stimulate further research, rather than collectively projecting general body piercing information onto those with GP. With an increase in GP, urologists need to know the specific differences, medical implica- tions, significant short- and long-term health risks, and patients concerns to treat and counsel patients in a culturally sensitive manner. Targeted educational strategies should be developed. Considering the amount of body modification, including GP, better legislation for public safety is overdue.

  • Comparison of Guidelines and Regulatory Frameworks for Personal Services Establishments
    Comparison of Guidelines and Regulatory Frameworks for Personal Services Establishments Author: Karen Rideout Personal services establishments (PSEs) have been identified as a priority area by public health inspectors (PHIs) and provincial ministry staff in several provinces, as well as by people within the industry. There are a lot of gaps and conflicting information regarding public health issues associated with PSEs. Guidelines and regulations are often vague or impractical. In general, there is a lack of training and licensing of both practitioners and business owners within the personal services industry. The level of public health guidance for PSEs varies across jurisdictions within Canada and other countries. While guidelines for more common procedures such as aesthetics, tattooing, and body piercing vary in comprehensiveness, there is a general lack of guidance relating to more extreme forms of body modification. Because the personal services industry is constantly changing, it may be prudent to develop risk assessment procedures for infection prevention and control (IPAC) in these settings, as well as tools to assess risk from failure of IPAC procedures in any personal services setting. As invasive body modification grows in popularity and range of procedures, there is an increasing need to clarify when a procedure falls under the auspices of invasive surgery and whether it should be regulated as such. What follows is a summary of the regulatory frameworks, as well as highlights and gaps from existing guidelines/regulations, from select jurisdictions within and outside Canada. It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive summary of the guidelines; it highlights some key areas that may be particularly relevant, problematic, or those that vary most between jurisdictions.

  • FGM Type IV and Other Forms of Female Genital Alterations

O R G e CoP of th ates of e deb rms Th er fo d oth s V an ation ype I alter GM T nital F le ge fema FGM Type IV and other forms of female genital alterations I. Introduction The World Health Organization defines FGM as “procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons”. The organization classifies it in 4 main types and considers all types of FGM to be a violation of the human rights of girls and women. In this note, we will focus on FGM type IV. (WHO, 2018). FGM type IV encompasses a range of procedures done to the female genitals that do not fall under the first 3 types (partial or total removal of the clitoral gland, excision of the labia minora or majora, and infibulation). The definition for type IV was changed in the new typology, published in 2007, to be less detailed than the previous one (1995). Practices such as the introduction of corrosive substances and herbs into the vagina, as well as labia stretching were removed. 2008 typology, FGM IV: All other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, for example, pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterization. Previous (1995) typology, FGM IV: Unclassified: pricking, piercing or incising of the clitoris and/or labia; stretching of the clitoris and/or labia; cauterization by burning of the clitoris and surrounding tissue; scraping of tissue surrounding the vaginal orifice (angurya cuts) or cutting of the vagina (gishiri cuts); introduction of corrosive substances or herbs into the vagina to cause bleeding or for the purpose of tightening or narrowing it; and any other procedure that falls under the broad definition of female genital mutilation.
