Identifying a surgeon to perform hymenoplasty surgery for the purpose of repairing a childhood injury is becoming more and more common. Often times the damage of the hymen is not because of sexual intercourse but because of physical strain or unpreventable violence that occurred to a child. The hymen is a fragile piece of tissue that can be easily torn by the day-to-day stresses of normal activity. It is important to understand that a torn hymen does not necessarily mean sexual intercourse has taken place. Many young girls have torn hymens as a result of intense sporting activities or sexual abuse. In either case it is important to understand your options available when it comes to hymen restoration.
Sporting injuries such as riding a horse, gymnastics, karate or even incorrect insertion of a tampon can result in the damaging of one’s hymen. When the hymen is torn sometimes the pain is noticeable and other times not. Depending on the physical activity currently engaged in the pain and knowledge of the tear might not even be noticed until the patient is much older. Unfortunately because of many social and cultural stigmas not knowing how your hymen break isn’t enough.
The hymenopalsty surgery that a doctor typically performs is a fast procedure that can take between 30-40 minutes. The surgery itself involves the use of local anesthetic to numb the vaginal area. The doctor then procedures to suture the connective tissues that were once the hymen into a star shaped structure. The stitches the doctor uses are dissolvable so no post-operative surgery needs to be performed to remove the stitches. It takes about 2 -3 weeks for the hymen to be restored completely, it is recommended that you have this procedure at least 3 weeks prior to the time you plan to consummate a marriage.
The most important concern that a patient has when it comes to hymenoplasty surgery is maintaining privacy and discretion about the procedure. Hymenoplasty surgeons understand this and offer the best privacy possible and some even offer anonymity to prevent any type of records being traced to you.
