Here is everything you want to know about hymen closure surgery

Virgin atresia is a common phenomenon among women. This phenomenon has a great impact on women's health, so once discovered, surgical treatment must be performed in time to avoid worsening of the condition. Let us take a detailed look at the virgin atresia surgery below.

Typical symptoms of hymen occlusion

1. No menarche after puberty.

2. Periodic lower abdominal pain that gradually worsens.

3. A lump can be felt in the lower abdomen, and it grows larger month by month.

4. During the examination, the hymen can be seen bulging outward and the surface is purple-blue.

5. Rectal examination reveals a mass that presses toward the rectum, is very tense, and is tender.

6. In severe cases, it is accompanied by constipation, frequent urination or urinary retention, constipation, anal swelling and other symptoms.

Hymen occlusion, early detection and early treatment

Hymen occlusion is very harmful, not only affecting women's normal life, but also leading to infertility. Hymen occlusion should be detected and treated early. Adolescence is the best time for surgical treatment of hymen occlusion, when the production of estrogen can promote vulvar healing. In addition, generally people are not in a relationship at this time. After the operation, they can have a normal relationship and sex life. This can also effectively prevent the disease from causing too much harm to their body and mind.

Surgical treatment of virgin atresia

During surgical resection, pressure can be applied to the abdomen to make the protruding mass more obvious and facilitate the operation. The site can be located by puncturing with a thick needle, and a small incision can be made with an electric knife to aspirate the accumulated blood. The hymen incision is usually X-shaped, but some experts also make circular or oval incisions. Make an X-shaped incision all the way to the vaginal wall. If the diaphragm is thin, excess tissue of the diaphragm can be removed in a circular manner. The two layers of mucosa and the base of the incision can be slightly freed and sutured longitudinally. The suture edges are serrated and not in the same plane to prevent annular stenosis in the future. If the diaphragm is thick, an X-shaped incision should be made on the outer mucosal surface first, with a depth of 1/2 of the thickness of the diaphragm, to separate the mucosal flaps, and then the inner layer should be cut in a cross shape. The four pairs of inner and outer mucosal flaps should be interlaced and sutured to prevent re-stenosis due to contracture after healing. If pregnancy and delivery occur later, it often cannot proceed smoothly and a cesarean section is required to end the delivery.

If symptoms are discovered after menstruation, emergency surgery should be performed to drain the menstrual blood. Treatment should not be delayed too long to avoid intrauterine blood accumulation or even hematofallopian blood accumulation. Bimanual examination is not performed during the operation to avoid increasing the chance of infection and causing backflow of menstrual blood or rupture of fallopian tube hematoma.
