Learning Objectives: After studying this article and viewing the video, the participant should be able to: 1. Accurately describe the relevant aesthetic anatomy and terminology for common female genital plastic surgery procedures. 2. Have knowledge of the different surgical options to address common aesthetic concerns and their risks, alternatives, and benefits. 3. List the potential risks, alternatives, and benefits of commonly performed female genital aesthetic interventions. 4. Be aware of the entity of female genital mutilation and differentiation from female genital cosmetic surgery.
Summary: This CME activity is intended to provide a brief 3500-word overview of female genital cosmetic surgery. The focus is primarily on elective vulvovaginal procedures, avoiding posttrauma reconstruction or gender-confirmation surgery. The goal is to present content with the best available and independent unbiased scientific research. Given this relatively new field, data with a high level of evidence are limited. Entities that may be commonly encountered in a plastic surgery practice are reviewed. The physician must be comfortable with the anatomy, terminology, diagnosis, and treatment options. Familiarity with requested interventions and aesthetic goals is encouraged.

Background: This study aims to explore the diagnostic significance of basal sex hormone levels and pelvic B-mode ultrasound in the context of central precocious puberty (CPP) in female children.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2014 to January 2024. The study enrolled female children exhibiting early breast development before the age of 8 and subjected them to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation tests.

Background: In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and motility. Primary motility of the sperm cells is acquired during their transit through the epididymis and hyperactivated motility is acquired throughout the journey in the female genital tract by a process called capacitation.

Background: In humans and other mammals, the process of oogenesis initiates asynchronously in specific ovarian regions, leading to the localization of dormant and growing follicles in the cortex and medulla, respectively; however, the current understanding of this process remains insufficient.
Results: Here, we integrate single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) to comprehend spatial-temporal gene expression profiles and explore the spatial organization of ovarian microenvironments during early oogenesis in pigs. Projection of the germ cell clusters at different stages of oogenesis into the spatial atlas unveils a "cortical to medullary (C-M)" distribution of germ cells in the developing porcine ovaries.
Role of the Notch signaling pathway in porcine oocyte maturation.

Background: Although the Notch signaling pathway is known to play an important role in ovarian follicle development in mammals, whether it is involved in oocyte maturation remains unclear. Therefore, this study was performed to elucidate the existence and role of the Notch signaling pathway during oocyte maturation in a porcine model.
Methods: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemical assays were used to determine the existence of Notch signaling pathway-related transcripts and proteins in porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs).
