What is the surgical method for hymen repair?

Everyone must be familiar with the hymen. Although times are changing and the hymen is not so important, many friends will repair their hymen in pursuit of perfection. The commonly used method is to undergo surgery to repair the hymen, but they don’t quite understand the advantages and disadvantages of this method. Here I will introduce to you some related surgeries for virginity repair.

Hymen repair surgery is a surgery to repair and suture the hymen to its original place. The operation takes about 15-20 minutes and the stitches are removed 7-10 days after the operation. If absorbable sutures are used, there is no need to remove the stitches. The hymen can be completely restored after healing. For those with more serious damage, it is often necessary to separate the vaginal mucosal tissue for hymen reconstruction.

The hymen is a thin layer of mucous membrane covering the vaginal opening, which contains connective tissue, blood vessels and nerve endings. It usually ruptures during the first sexual intercourse. It can also be caused by intense activities such as riding, resulting in bleeding, pain, etc. The size and thickness of the hymen vary from person to person. In some cases, bleeding does not occur during sexual intercourse because the hymen is congenitally thick. The hymen is located at the boundary between the vaginal opening and the vaginal vestibule. It is a thin film of tissue that surrounds the vaginal opening and has a hole in the middle and is not completely closed. There is one or more holes in the middle, called the hymenal foramen. Most of the holes are circular, elliptical, crescent-shaped or irregular in shape; the holes are sieve-shaped.

Key points of surgery

1. Routine disinfection and draping.

2. Take the lithotomy position and apply local infiltration anesthesia.

3. Trim the ruptured edge of the hymen into a wound surface, and suture the submucosal, inner and outer mucosa in place; or suture the hymen in a circular manner to reduce the diameter of the hymen's circular opening to the extent that it can pass through the space of a little finger.

4. If the rupture of the hymen is more serious, it is advisable to peel off part of the mucous membrane on both sides of the vaginal opening, and pull the hymen towards the center of the vaginal opening and suture it.

5. If the wound is exposed after surgery, apply antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.

Best time

Due to the special position of the hymen, it cannot be tightly bandaged after surgery, and the wound is directly exposed to the leucorrhea. The quality of the leucorrhea will greatly affect the healing of the wound. Therefore, the surgery date should be chosen in the second or fourth week of the menstrual cycle. At this time, the amount of leucorrhea is small and thick, which can keep the wound relatively dry and improve the healing rate. During the third week of the menstrual cycle, the leucorrhea is thin and abundant. If you have surgery during this period, the postoperative wound will be soaked in leucorrhea, making it difficult to heal.

The hymen surgery process is relatively fast and the recovery is also relatively fast, and it will not affect your life. However, it is recommended that female friends do not choose irregular hospitals for surgery for the sake of cheapness, and pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva. Hymen repair surgery cannot be performed during menstruation, and you should check whether you have gynecological diseases. If you do, you should not have this surgery as it is easy to get infected.
