Hymen Repair

• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure.
• Repair Options:
  • Simple Repair: Involves piecing together the remaining hymenal tissue by closing the tear. This is a straightforward procedure usually done a few days before an anticipated event, such as a wedding.
  • Hymen Reconstruction: If the hymenal remnants are insufficient, more complex techniques like approximating undermined remnants or using vaginal flaps may be employed to create vascular bands across the introitus.
• Suturing: Dissolvable sutures are used to secure the reconstructed or repaired hymen.
• Duration: The procedure typically lasts one to two hours, after which patients can usually return home the same day and resume normal activities within a day.

• Patients often report satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome and restoration of hymenal integrity.
• Emotional and cultural reasons for undergoing hymenoplasty are addressed, providing reassurance and confidence.
• While the procedure recreates hymenal tissue, it does not restore virginity as defined biologically.

• Bleeding: Minimal risk, usually controlled during the procedure.
• Infection: Risk of infection at the surgical site, managed with antibiotics.
• Incomplete Healing: Due to the avascular nature of the hymen, complete healing may not always occur. The gynecologist will provide detailed instructions to minimize these risks.
