Virginity has gained social, religious, and moral significance over the years. It generally describes a woman who has never had sexual contact and whose hymen is healthy. Many women perform hymenoplasty to recover a torn hymen for the sake of social standing, interpersonal connections, and cultural and religious purposes.hat is a hymen?
The exterior vaginal opening is covered by a tissue called the hymen, which is ripped during penetrating sex. The hymen can also be torn while engaging in sports like gymnastics, horseback riding, cycling, or using a tampon.
The human tissue that makes up the hymen resembles an oval rubber washer and covers the vaginal opening partially or entirely. This membrane’s ring form might be thick and rigid or thin and flexible. It normally starts to form around the fourth month of pregnancy, while the female is still in the womb.
When should you consider hymenoplasty?
Patients who need to make sure their hymen remains intact during sexual activity on their wedding night must undergo hymenoplasty at least six weeks before that night. If you need it for social, religious, or personal reasons, your plastic surgeon will be upfront and honest with you about the procedure.
Women in good health who are adamant about having their hymen fixed are suitable candidates for hymenoplasty. They should also have reasonable expectations about what the operation can provide for them. Hymen repair can provide psychological and emotional assistance for victims of sexual abuse and will satisfy cultural and/or religious standards around sexual activity.
What occurs during a hymenoplasty surgery?
Hymen repair may typically be completed in a clinic with local anaesthetic as a simple outpatient surgery. After removing any ripped skin from the hymen’s margins with care and precision, the remaining tissue is sewn together, leaving a small opening. The hymenal ring is then returned to its original dimensions.
The surgeon may build a hymen by using artificial tissue or a portion of the body’s own thin vaginal skin (vaginal mucosa) if there isn’t enough skin to cover it or the hymen doesn’t exist. A small amount of blood is added, either synthetically or from the patient’s own blood collected from a vaginal flap, replicating the natural bleeding that occurs after penetration.
What is the recovery period?
Hymenoplasty doesn’t require a hospital stay. There might be mild bleeding for the first 48 to 72 hours, but this is typical. It usually takes six weeks for a full recovery.
