Genital Surgery for Women - Hymenoplasty

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.
