Hymen Repair

Can the hymen be sewn? How is the hymen sewn?

Yes, hymenoplasty is possible. Hymenoplasty is also called “hymenoplasty”. This procedure can be done for various reasons:

- Religious or cultural reasons: In some religions or cultures, women are expected to be virgins before marriage. Women with a ruptured hymen can have a hymenoplasty to fulfill this expectation.

- Psychological reasons: For some women, a ruptured hymen can cause feelings of shame or guilt. They can have hymenoplasty to get rid of these feelings.

- Physical causes: Some women with a congenitally absent or torn hymen may have problems such as vaginal discharge or infection. To solve these problems, they can have hymenoplasty.

Hymenoplasty can be done in two ways:

1. Temporary hymen repair: In this method, stitches are placed at the entrance of the vagina to ensure bleeding during the first sexual intercourse. The stitches dissolve spontaneously within a few days.

2. Permanent hymen repair: In this method, the torn hymen tissue is repaired by microsurgery. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. It is a highly successful and definitive solution. The postoperative recovery period is approximately 1-2 weeks.
