What is Hymenoplasty?
Hymenoplasty, also called hymen reconstruction, is a surgical procedure that restores or recreates the hymen. Hymen is a thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening.
Unlike vaginoplasty or labiaplasty, this surgery focuses only on the hymen. Women may choose hymenoplasty for cultural, personal, or emotional reasons, or to repair damage from injury or trauma.
Why Women Choose Hymenoplasty
- Cultural or religious reasons
- Hymen injury (due to trauma, sports, or other activities)
- Psychological and emotional reasons
- Desire for revirgination
How is it Performed?
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes 1–3 hours. Techniques vary depending on the patient’s condition:
- Repair: Stitching together the torn edges of the hymen
- Reconstruction: Creating a new hymen using vaginal tissue
- Artificial Membrane: Constructing a thin, natural-looking membrane that can hold blood
