Procedure: Hymenoplasty

Useful information for patients on Hymenoplasty procedures - primarily for cultural and religious reasons, the "loss of virginity" is restored by rebuilding the hymen.

Hymenoplasty can be performed from simple techniques that include a simple suture of the hymenal vestiges to the use of procedures that can include flaps of the vaginal mucosa. Suturing in three planes is recommended to avoid dehiscence and ensure a hymenal orifice of less than 1cm through which the woman can menstruate until her first sexual intercourse after surgery.
