A Hymenoplasty
(Hymen restoration surgery) is generally performed on women
who haven’t
had children, for ethnic, cultural, or religious reasons.
The Hymen is a membrane of skin that sits in the lower half
of the vagina. With first time intercourse or by a falling
accident or by using tampons, the hymen can tear. Most often
this tearing is accompanied by bleeding.
The hymenoplasty is performed using local anesthetic and is
a fairly simple procedure. It can be performed as a day case.
The torn area has the upper layer of tissue removed so that
when it is stitched back together,to form a ring, the area
will fuse.The area is put back together as prior to the accident
etc.The ring of membrane is made small enough so that
on the first occurrence of intercourse it will tear again and
there will be some pain and bleeding as before.
After The Procedure You should expect some swelling and discomfort following
the procedure. Following discharge from hospital you will be
taken back home if you live locally, or your hotel to begin
your recovery period. You will have sutures that may need to
be removed if they are not dissolvable. Your surgeon will advise
you about this also. Most patients notice a significant improvement
in the bruising and swelling after the first two weeks but
it can take some time for everything to settle completely.
You will want to book about 1 to 2 weeks off work.
