Cytori Sugiyama Cosmetic Clinic, which has a specialized clinic for cosmetic gynecology and femcare directly connected to Shinjuku Sanchome Station (URL: https://cytorisugiyama.or.jp/), conducted an "Awareness and Actual Condition Survey on Delicate Zone Concerns and Care" targeting 100 women aged 20s to 60s and over.

In recent years, while interest in self-care has increased with the spread of femcare products, many women are finding themselves "feeling the limits of over-the-counter care" as summer approaches. This report explains the psychological hurdles that prevent modern women from seeking medical attention and the "improvement in quality of life (QOL)" that only cosmetic gynecology can provide, as revealed by this survey.

1. Topics of This Survey

[Lonely Concerns]

57% of women responded that they "cannot discuss their delicate zone concerns with anyone."

[Limits of Self-Care]

Many women who tried over-the-counter femcare products responded that it only provided "temporary improvement" or that they "felt no effect," facing a dead end in their care.

[High Expectations for Medical Care]

99% of women responded that they "would like to visit a cosmetic gynecology clinic if their concerns could be fundamentally resolved" (61% strongly wish to, 38% would consider depending on cost), revealing an extremely high latent need for medical institutions.

2. Survey Results Details: "Endurance" and "Limits" Faced by Many Women

📊 57% responded "Cannot discuss with anyone." Deep-seated private concerns

"Can you discuss your delicate zone concerns with anyone?"

In response to the question "Can you discuss your delicate zone concerns with anyone?", 57% answered "Cannot discuss with anyone." Psychological hurdles such as "embarrassment" and "not knowing how much to discuss" with partners, close friends, or even general gynecologists led to the reality of women suffering alone.

📊 Limits of over-the-counter care. Voices hoping to escape "temporary fixes"

Regarding the question "Have your concerns been resolved with over-the-counter self-care?", the results were:

"Temporary improvement only (28%)" and "Felt no effect (26%)". This indicates that superficial skincare with specialized soaps or oils cannot fundamentally resolve structural issues such as looseness due to pelvic floor muscle weakness or irritation and odor due to the shape of the labia minora, revealing the "limit line" of self-care.

"Have your concerns been resolved with over-the-counter self-care?"

3. Application Part: "Positive Changes" Brought by Access to Medical Care

📊 Almost all (99%) "would like to visit a cosmetic gynecology clinic if their concerns can be fundamentally resolved"

"Would you like to visit a cosmetic gynecology clinic if your concerns can be fundamentally resolved?"

"Would you like to visit a cosmetic gynecology clinic if your concerns can be fundamentally resolved?"

In response to this question, 99% of women showed a positive attitude towards visiting, with "strongly wish to (61%)" and "would consider depending on cost (38%)" combined. The survey responses revealed strong expectations for positive changes beyond just "wanting to eliminate discomfort" (a passive reason), but also for "wanting to eliminate concerns and fully enjoy summer" and "wanting to gain self-confidence."

4. Comment from Dr. Natsuko Sakurai

"I wish I had come sooner." This is the first thing patients say when they visit.

Concerns about irritation, shape, and age-related changes in the delicate zone are problems that many women secretly harbor. Do you believe you "have no choice but to endure with over-the-counter soaps because it's embarrassing?"

In reality, we receive many positive comments from those who have visited our clinic, such as: "My long-standing concerns disappeared, and I enjoy choosing underwear now!" "I gained confidence in myself."

Our clinic is staffed by female doctors and thoroughly respects privacy. Recently, an increasing number of patients are receiving this care on the same day as facial treatments (such as thread lifts) as part of comprehensive total body care. Please don't suffer alone; feel free to come and talk to us, as if you were changing your facial skincare routine.
