The Basic Procedure

After local or general anesthesia, there are different techniques that may be used to stitch back the hymen. These include luminal reduction, flap-technique, surgical adhesion or the use of simple sutures. Regardless of the technique being used, the objective remains the same ie. To repair the thin membrane-like sheet from vulva to form a hymen. Dissolvable stitches are then administered. The surgery is a process of about half an hour and is usually an outpatient surgery. The patients need not stay overnight in the hospital.

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

Following are the guidelines you need to follow meticulously:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for a month and begin even moderate activities after 10 days.
• The patient may resume work after 3-4 days.
• The surgeon might prohibit bathing for 3 days.
• You will have to refrain from sex for about two months after the surgery.
• The vaginal area should be kept dry and clean and take the medications and antibiotics judiciously as prescribed by the surgeon.
• You may have to use warm compresses and ice packs to minimize the effect of pain and swelling.

The qualifications and credentials of the surgeon are of paramount importance. The success of the surgery and the healing thereafter are contingent on how qualified the surgeon is.
