Hymenoplasty

Hymen is a thin and fragile mucosal fold located 1-1.5 cm proximal to the vaginal introitus. Its function is not known. It may prevent the newborn from vaginal infections. Most cultures adopt it as a symbol of virginity. The hymen may be damaged in sexual intercourse as well as by masturbation, hand manipulations by the sexual partner, straddle trauma, physical examination, motor accidents or by the use of tampons.

Hymenoplasty or revirgination will repair the torn edges of the membrane so the hymen will rupture and bleed during the next penetration. Hymenoplasty in Turkey is done with sensitivity and all medical records are kept confidential.

Patients should not engage in sexual activity for at least 6 weeks after the procedure to allow proper healing.
