Hymen Repair

Hymen is a tissue covering the opening of the vagina in the female. It is flexible elastic like and has a hole in it which allows the menstrual blood to come out. Hymen gets ruptured by having sexual intercourse or participating in impact sports. It can also rupture due to insertion of tampons in the vagina. In some cultures including the Indian culture some of the people still expect the bride to be a virgin at the time of the marriage. Hymen reconstruction surgery, also known as hymen surgery, hymenoplasty surgery or hymen restoration, is the surgical repair of the hymen. As per our cosmetic gynecologist at CLAGS Centre in Mohali, Punjab the best time to get this surgery is about one month before the marriage. In this surgery the torn edges of the hymen are joined and nobody can make out if the hymen has been repaired.

These days most of the women prefer to get married after getting established in their career which means that the marriage takes place in late 20's or early 30's while the sexual activity begins in late teens. The concept of remaining virgin till marriage is therefore on the way out. However still some men want their wives to be virgin at the time of marriage which means that the girl has to undergo virginity surgery just before the marriage.

This is not a very healthy practice in which there is no obligation on the men to remain virgin till the time of marriage and there is no way to find this out but the entire burden is placed on the women to prove their virginity. The way our society is changing, it is just a matter of time when such an unequal practice amongst the genders will be a thing of the past.

Two types of hymen repair surgeries are done at CLAGS Centre for Laser, Aesthetics and Gynecology Services, Mohali, Punjab - A purely cosmetic procedure in which a membrane without blood supply is created. This operation will create a barrier to penile penetration but may not result in bleeding after intercourse. This surgery is normally done 1 month before the marriage. In the second type of surgery a flap of the vaginal lining is taken alongwith its blood supply to create a new hymen. This surgery is done 2-3 months before the marriage. This second type of surgery would result in bleeding at the time of intercourse.

The cost of hymen repair surgery in India is USD 1000 in day care and USD 1500 with 1 day stay in the hospital. The patients can fly back to their homes on the second day of the surgery. Surgery can be done both in local and general anaesthesia however most of the doctors prefer doing it under general anaesthesia.
