The hymen is a thin membrane that covers the opening to the vagina. Under ideal circumstances the hymen is not ruptured until the first experience of sexual intercourse; however accidents and other occurrences such as athletic can rupture the hymen before then. Some women may wish to have hymen repair surgery for religious or other social reasons prior to getting married. Here are a few facts about hymen repair.
The hymen is a membrane or ring that partially occludes the entrance to the female sexual tract. In most women it is not a complete covering but instead may be a narrowed region and some women were born without one at all.
Though the hymen can be ruptured through activities other than sex, it is considered to be the mark of virginity. Some cultures and religious groups are insistent that a woman should be a virgin when she marries.
Though sexual activity will certainly destroy the virginity, some women may have the appearance of sexual experience when there has been none through no fault of her own. Other women wish to have virginity restoration for personal reasons such as a complete change of heart about past experiences that she may now consider to be a mistake.
Whether a woman needs hymenoplasty or hymen repair surgery for cultural or religious reasons or simply wants to start over with revirgination, hymen repair can fix a torn hymen or even replace a completely missing one.
If the hymen has only been partially torn, a surgeon can often reattach the torn edges to restore the hymen. A woman who never had a hymen can have a new one constructed with a donor skin substance.
Whatever the reason for hymen repair, a board certified plastic surgeon should be consulted to perform the procedure. A qualified cosmetic surgeon will be able to fully discuss the implications of vaginal rejuvenation and hymenoplasty and will explain the procedure in detail. Unfortunately, there will not likely be any before and after hymen repair surgery pictures to look at as it is located within the vagina and not easy to see.
One would be advised to not look for defloration photos or defloration pictures on the internet as sites offering these types of photos are most commonly entries to pornography sites. No reputable physician would have photos that are called “defloration” so these are best avoided as they have basically nothing to do with hymen repair.
