What is Hymenoplasty Surgery?

Hymen reconstruction surgery refers to the surgical correction of the hymen. This type of surgery is performed by fusing the torn parts of the hymen together using a surgical technique. When the procedure is performed correctly, it leaves no visible scarring and the hymen regains a solid appearance. After this type of hymen surgery, complications can occur, such as rupture of the hymen again, pain and bleeding, usually during sexual intercourse.

What Are the Various Procedures Used in Hymenoplasty Surgery?

If you are considering hymenoplasty surgery in Turkey, it is important to first consult with a doctor. Before the surgery, your doctor will give you preparation instructions and share details about the procedure. Hymenoplasty uses 3 techniques. These are

  1. In the basic technique, the remains of the hymen, if any, can be sutured and local or general anesthesia can be used. The surgeon performs the surgery by joining the torn pieces together. This type of surgery usually takes 30-40 minutes as an outpatient.
  2. The whole plant technique is used when it is not possible to join the remnants together. The surgeon inserts a biomaterial into the vagina and this material acts as a hymen. In Turkey, this surgery usually takes two hours and is performed under local anesthesia.
  3. In hymen reconstruction, the surgeon at the Cayra Clinic in Turkey creates a new hymen using tissue from the lip of the vagina. However, this method requires abstinence from sexual intercourse for at least three months.

How is Hymenoplasty Surgery Performed in Turkey?

Hymenoplasty in Turkey involves a specific planning process based on the patient’s demands and the condition of the hymen. This process starts with a hymen examination and focuses on the patient deciding whether the hymen will be sutured temporarily or permanently.

Permanent hymenoplasty surgery is usually performed with a method called “flap”. In this technique, the hymen is sewn to the opposite side of the vaginal wall. With the permanent sewing process, the hymen is permanently repaired. After the first sexual intercourse, the hymen ruptures again and bleeding occurs.

Temporary hymen suturing is usually performed about a week before sexual intercourse. In this method, parts of the hymen are sewn to the opposite side of the vaginal wall, but these stitches usually dissolve over time. For this reason, it is usually recommended at least one week before intercourse. The temporarily sutured hymen ruptures during sexual intercourse and bleeding occurs.

After Hymenoplasty 

  • Once she is able to get up and walk, she follows the doctor’s instructions exactly so that she can leave the hospital without any problems. In particular, she is careful to take fewer steps than usual to avoid further progression of the wound.
  • The first 3 days after the procedure are a particularly uncomfortable time for the woman, during which time she takes painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication.
  • The woman continues to take these medications for ten days for a week.
  • After a certain period of time has passed, the woman will see the doctor again to check the condition of the wound and to assess the postoperative situation in general.
  • During this time, the woman can contact her doctor if she feels any worrying side effects.
