Hymenoplasty
Hymenoplasty, also known as hymen reconstruction surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing the hymen, a thin membrane located at the entrance of the vagina. This procedure is often sought for cultural, personal, or social reasons, as well as in cases where the hymen was torn due to activities such as sports, tampon use, or sexual intercourse.
The surgery involves stitching the remnants of the hymen together or creating a new hymen using tissue from the vaginal lining. Hymenoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia and is a relatively quick procedure, usually taking about 30 minutes to an hour. Recovery time is short, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a few days. It is important to avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse for a few weeks to ensure proper healing.

Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, but it is important to avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse for a few weeks to ensure proper healing.
Risks include infection, scarring, and discomfort, but serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified surgeon.
The results of hymenoplasty are intended to be long-lasting, but the reconstructed hymen can be torn again with physical activity or sexual intercourse.
