A woman has been awarded £150,000 after she had a 'completely unnecessary' vaginal reconstruction surgery for a condition that could have been treated with cream.
The woman, in her 40s at the time, had her clitoris removed during the operation and was left unable to urinate normally or enjoy sex, which affected her marriage.
She suffered an 'inflammatory condition' which should have been treated with moisturisers, but instead she was offered surgery by a consultant.
The woman, who has not been named, agreed to the surgery which was carried out privately at the Spire Hospital in Anlaby, Hull, East Yorkshire.
