What Is Hymenoplasty?
Hymenoplasty, also called hymen reconstruction or hymenorrhaphy, is a minor surgical procedure that repairs or rebuilds the hymen – a thin membrane at the vaginal opening. The goal is to restore its appearance and create the potential for bleeding during future intercourse, which some cultures associate with virginity.
The procedure does not restore biological virginity but can help patients feel whole physically and emotionally. It is often sought for cultural, personal, or symbolic reasons and can also address accidental or non-sexual tears caused by exercise, tampon use, or injury. Hymenoplasty is generally safe, minimally invasive, and performed under strict confidentiality.
How It Works
Hymenoplasty works by surgically repairing or reconstructing the hymenal tissue. If remnants of the hymen remain, they are carefully stitched together with fine, dissolvable sutures. If no tissue remains, a new hymen is created using a small piece of vaginal mucosa.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, often with numbing cream for added comfort. Precision techniques ensure the reconstructed hymen closely resembles a natural one, maintaining both appearance and function. After healing, the hymen is expected to bleed during future intercourse, mimicking the natural experience.

FAQ
Q1: How long does Hymenoplasty last?
A1: The results are permanent until vaginal penetration occurs. The reconstructed hymen will behave similarly to a natural hymen during intercourse.
