Temporary Hymen Repair

The hymen, a thin, pinkish membrane that covers the vaginal entrance, can be restored with a hymenoplasty surgery. The hymen is located inside the vagina and is a part of the vulva. The full function of the hymen is unknown, but it is believed to prevent pathogens from entering the vagina until puberty. Typically, the first sexual experience causes the hymen to tear. Strenuous activities such as cycling, swimming, and gymnastics can also cause the hymen to tear at any age. Even in some cases, it is possible for a person to be born without a hymen.

Temporary Hymenoplasty is a procedure performed 7-10 days before marriage for short-term results. Simple hymen repair can potentially be performed in two ways. The first hymen repair surgery involves the approximation of hymen tags or remnants that are cut by entry force and cause some bleeding. After 2-3 weeks, the sutures fall off and the hymen remnants reopen as before the surgery. In the second type of hymen repair surgery, we perform a formal hymen repair that heals to give you a natural hymen that functions properly. The most important aspect of hymen repair surgery is the use of invisible sutures, otherwise your partner may be able to notice them. We apply a microsurgical approach for hymen repair or hymenorrhaphy.

The best candidates for temporary hymenoplasty are women who are in good health and have strong feelings about the repair of their hymen. Typically, repairing the hymen is not necessary for broader health purposes. Hymen repair meets religious and/or cultural expectations when it comes to sexual intercourse and can provide psychological and emotional support to victims of sexual abuse.

What should be considered before the Hymenoplasty Surgery?

The patient is evaluated and selected by the doctor in an appropriate manner for hymen repair surgery. Between consultations, there is usually a gap of about two weeks, known as the reflection period, during which the doctor will comprehensively evaluate the patient's condition and plan the surgery. The doctor will advise the patient to stop working two to three days before the surgery. The doctor will ask the patient about the medications she is currently taking. Medications that promote bleeding will be restricted by the doctor until the surgery is performed to avoid any risk of bleeding during the procedure. The patient should not smoke and should quit smoking well in advance of the procedure. The doctor will ensure that the patient does not have any sexually transmitted diseases by taking a detailed history and examination before the procedure. The patient will be required to sign an informed consent and other formalities before the procedure.

What are the Post-Treatment Rules for Hymen Suturing?

After the hymen repair procedure, the patient is kept under observation for a few hours to avoid any complications and is allowed to return home the same day. While you can return to work after three or four days, moderately challenging activities should not be started until ten days after the hymen repair surgery.

It may take about four to six weeks to fully heal after hymen reconstruction. It leaves no visible scars after the surgical procedure. For best results and full recovery after surgery, gynecologists usually recommend the following post-operative guidelines:

• Make sure you take all prescribed medications on time.
• You can usually shower only 2-3 days after the surgery. You should follow your gynecologist's instructions while taking a shower. Make sure your vaginal area is clean by gently wiping it once or twice a day.
• Rest is important for the first few days after surgery. Do not engage in any activity that may put pressure on that area. Proper care for the wound in the first few days of healing will result in a faster healing process.
• After hymen surgery, it is important to consume a healthy, nutrient-rich diet to speed up the healing process. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and spicy, greasy or pickled foods for a few days.
• Some women develop a vaginal yeast infection due to antibiotic treatment after hymen surgery. Consult your gynecologist in case of such symptoms.
• Contact your gynecologist immediately if you experience bleeding, reddish-brown discharge, or any other abnormal vaginal discharge.
• Inform the gynecologist immediately if you experience any complications or side effects to ensure a quick and safe recovery.
