Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty (also called hymen repair, hymen restoration, hymenorrhaphy, or virginity restoration surgery) is a minor surgical procedure to reconstruct the hymen—a thin membrane located at the entrance of the vagina. The hymen has a natural opening for menstrual flow, and in many women, it may rupture due to:

• Sexual intercourse
• Vigorous exercise
• Accidental trauma or injury
• In rare cases, medical procedures or assault

For cultural, religious, or personal reasons, some women choose hymenoplasty to restore the hymen. The procedure helps in regaining confidence, avoiding social stigma, or healing from trauma.

Hymenoplasty Procedure

• Anesthesia: The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia.

• Duration: It takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on the extent of repair.

• Technique: The surgeon either stitches the torn hymen tissues together or creates a new hymen using fine surgical methods. In some cases, additional vaginal tightening or fat grafting of the vaginal lips may be done for better results.

• Recovery: Patients can usually go home the same day. Follow-up visits are advised to monitor healing and prevent infection.

Once healed, the reconstructed hymen functions like the natural one and may bleed during first intercourse.

Types of Hymenoplasty

1. Simple Hymen Reconstruction
