Hymenoplasty (Hymen Repair)

The hymen, known in Latin as hymen, is located 0.5-1.5 cm at the entrance of the vagina. It is a soft formation with fine vessels that resembles oral mucosa tissue rather than a membrane in its structure. Its importance is due to sociocultural reasons rather than its function. So how is hymen stitching done? How much do hymen repair costs? What are the types of hymen? How is the hymen examined? You can continue reading our article for detailed information on all the topics you are looking for.

Types of Hymen

Annular Hymen (Round ring): It is a round ring and has a ring-shaped hole in the middle. If the hole in the middle is too large, the membrane may not rupture despite the passage of the penis. In this case, it is said that the hymen is suitable for penetration. The term “flexible membrane” is used among the public. It is the most common hymen form (60-95%).

Septated Hymen (with intermediate partition): There is an “intermediate piece of tissue belonging to the membrane” in the middle part that divides the space. Its incidence is between 1.5-5%.

Cribriform hymen (Multi-perforated, rivulet-like): There is not a single hole but multiple holes in the middle of the hymen. In this view, the shape of the hymen resembles a “griddle”. Its incidence is less than 1%.

Imperforate hymen (Pathological type): There is no hole in the middle and the entrance to the vagina is completely closed. Girls with this membrane do not experience any menstrual bleeding. When the menstrual period begins and the bleeding cannot flow out, they periodically complain of severe groin and lower back pain. During this period, an opening is surgically created to allow menstrual bleeding to flow.

Multiparous hymen (found in those who have given birth): In women who have given birth normally, the hymen ruptures due to birth and the remaining parts are called “carincle (hymen residue)”.

How is Hymen Examined?

Hymen examination, that is, hymen examination, is an examination that can be performed by gynecologists. The examination is painless, performed by observation, without requiring any contact with the hymen, by holding and parting only the outer lip (labium major).

Hymen Planting and Repair

The importance of the hymen stems from sociocultural expectations. It is applied to people who have had a relationship before and regret it, rape victims and people who do not want to bear the traces of their past relationships. Hymen repair can be done in two ways, depending on when it is planned.

PERMANENT METHOD (FLEP):

With this method, signs of bleeding can be obtained not only for a short time but also after months of sexual intercourse. In this method, a method called flap repair or hymen stitching is applied. The vaginal entrance canal is narrowed with a thin membrane-like mucosa tissue removed from the area where the hymen is located. There will be no scars or stitches left. Since the stitches dissolve on their own, there is no need to remove stitches, and you can return to normal life immediately after hymenoplasty surgery.

Temporary Hymen Stitching

In the simple technique (end-to-end joining), the temporarily torn ends of the hymen are stitched together and during sexual intercourse, rupture and bleeding occurs in this area. This procedure should be done 3-4 days before the wedding, otherwise bleeding may not occur.

Things to Consider After Hymen Operation

First of all, it is extremely important to follow the recommendations of the doctor performing the procedure. You should definitely come to your check-ups when the doctor calls. Likewise, you should definitely use the medications (antibiotics, painkillers) recommended by your doctor. In people who have undergone the Flap method for hymen stitching, there may be some spotting-like bleeding in the first 2 weeks after the procedure, and then a yellowish discharge as the melting fluid of the threads. During the first 1 month – 6 weeks of permanent hymen transplantation, sports activities that will expose the legs too much should not be done, horses, bicycles or motorcycles should not be ridden, swimming in the pool or the sea should not be done, and care should be taken not to become constipated. You can take a bath the next day, but you should take a shower standing and not get in the bathtub for 1 month. If your doctor deems it appropriate, you can use an antiseptic solution or genital shampoo in the shower.
