Hymenoplasty
What is Hymen?
Hymen is a thin mucosal membrane which guards the vaginal opening and is often ruptured during first intercourse. Though, in athletes or sports women, it may be ruptured due to vigorous exercise, gymnastics, horseback riding and same with other women too.It may be ruptured by the use of tampons or menstrual cups. Very rarely, hymen may be congenitally absent too.
In some societies, bleeding caused during first intercourse through the rupture of hymen is still thought as a sign of virginity. While, rising incidence of premarital sex but restoration of virginity during marriage; due to societal pressure has been cause of sharp rise in the demand of surgery of Hymenorrhaphy or Hymenoplasty. The intention is to cause bleeding when the membrane tears during intercourse. In many situations, this procedure is performed on women from cultures that place a high value on a woman’s virginity before the marriage. For women nowadays, the desire to experience “virginity” again can be appealing for some non-virginal women—whether facing societal pressure to erase their sexual history, as a form of closure after a sexual assault or simply wanting to relive the experience of being “intact” again
What is the surgical technique of Hymenoplasty or Hymenorrhaphy?
Hymenoplasty is the reconstruction of the broken hymen. So, it can be called Virginity Restoration surgery or Revirginization. It requires very fine skills as the pseudo hymenal membrane has to be reconstructed with almost invisible remnants of broken hymen or non hymenal soft tissue without any scarring. The surgery is performed in 2 layers in order to reconstruct firmly and durably the hymen, so as to mimic the natural hymen.The surgery has to be done with very fine suture material which gets absorbed by itself within 15-20 days. Healing takes about one month. Within 1-2 months no scarring will be seen even. Hymen is formed strong enough to endure daily activities and weak enough to allow penetrative sex.
The operation usually lasts for 30 minutes and it can be performed in local or short general anesthesia as per patient convenience. We prefer short general anesthesia so as to ensure proper relaxation of vaginal musculature and complete pain relief to patients.
It is the second most common cosmetic surgery of Vaginal rejuvenation after vaginal tightening.
