Hymenoplasty

If you wish to regain your virginity or revive the integrity of the hymen, modern technology has given the magical treatment called Hymenoplasty or Hymenorrhaphy. Also called hymen reconstruction or hymen restoration, Hymenoplasty surgery in Punjab is gaining popularity among women who wish to restore the virginity of the vagina.

What is Hymen?

Hymen is a thin membrane, little pinkish in hue, located about half an inch inside the vagina. This thin membrane blocks the vaginal entrance. It is a part of the vulva and acts as a roadblock against external infection till the stage of puberty. It is like a gateway to the vagina. The medical benefit or function of hymen is unknown but it is considered a sign of virginity in the societal norms.

Studies have proved that not all women bleed on first intercourse while some have intact hymen even after intercourse. (This means hymen bleeding may not be the only sign of virginity). It is noteworthy that even hymenoplasty doesn’t give assurance of bleeding post the intercourse.

What is Hymenoplasty?

The process of repairing the hymen to make it look intact is called Hymenoplasty. The hymen has a secondary layer which can be sewn to repair the torn layer. This process is usually of about 45 minutes and is gaining immense popularity.

What are the Reasons for Hymenoplasty?

Since hymenoplasty doesn’t guarantee bleeding on intercourse and hymen is not a conducive indicator of virginity, you may wonder why to opt for hymenoplasty. Here are a few reasons why women increasingly prefer hymenoplasty:

2. Cultural or Religious Obligations

In normal societal parlance, the hymen is considered a sign of being chaste. Restoring the hymen tissues is relevant from religious or cultural perspectives as an intact hymen is a measure of virginity or chastity.

3. Psychological Issues

In an unfortunate event of rape or sexual abuse, if the hymen is ruptured, the process of hymenoplasty can heal the hymen. This helps in healing the vagina physically and also aids the mental healing of the person.

4. Repair the Hymen

In case the hymen is ruptured because of vigorous exercise and excessive use of tampons, hymenoplasty can repair the injured hymen. After all who doesn’t want an intact hymen before the first intercourse!

This procedure is conducted when the hymen cannot be stitched back. The surgeon administers local anesthesia and the whole surgery takes about 2 hours. An external tear-through biomaterial is inserted in the vagina which acts as a hymen.

3. Reconstruction of Hymen

This is an advanced surgery where the hymen is constructed from the tissues of vaginal lips. The surgeon is likely to abstain you from sexual intercourse for about three months and you will have to follow the care instructions meticulously.

What is the Recovery period after Hymenoplasty?

The recovery period is anticipated between 4 to 6 weeks. Immediately after the surgery the patient is observed for a while and maybe discharged from the hospital.

• Avoid strenuous exercise for a month and begin even moderate activities after 10 days.
