Hymenoplasty - indications, contraindications, possible complications

For various reasons, women resort to surgery to restore virginity. Someone wants to spend the first wedding night with a loved one with full feelings, and someone decided to comply with the religious requirements of the groom. Today, hymenoplasty has become not only popular, but also a fairly safe procedure, although some complications are possible in the postoperative period.

Indications for hymenoplasty

Operation to restore virginity is performed:

  • at the request of the woman herself;
  • at the request of religious and national traditions;
  • at the request of the woman's partner, but with her mandatory consent;
  • in case of accidental injuries (during sports, riding horses or cycling, etc.)

The main reason for the procedure is a psychological factor. Many couples want to diversify their sexual life with innovations and piquancy. Hymenoplasty allows you to renew the feeling, make sexual relations brighter and more unusual.

Classification of operation to restore virginity

Surgeons perform long-term and short-term hymenoplasty. Many women think that the doctor will be able to completely restore the hymen, but this is not the case. The surgeon only stitches the edges of the membrane with special self-absorbing threads, which cease their "existence" after 6 days. Such recovery is short-term and relevant only before sexual intercourse. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in half an hour. The number of performed operations is limited - no loose tissue remains on the 3-4th suturing.

If you need to preserve artificial virginity for a long time, long-term or three-layer hymenoplasty will be the best option. The essence of the procedure is the formation of a hymen from vaginal tissue. The operation is performed under general or local anesthesia and lasts no more than an hour. The advantage of three-layer hymenoplasty is the possibility of repeated performance. The disadvantage of such an intervention is a long rehabilitation period. Full recovery after surgery requires at least 30 days.

Features of hymenoplasty

Before the procedure, a woman must visit a gynecologist, a psychologist and undergo standard examinations. As part of the preparatory period, general clinical blood and urine tests are carried out, as well as an analysis for the presence or absence of sexually transmitted infections. Usually, the operation to restore virginity is prescribed 5 days before the start of menstruation.

The postoperative period requires compliance with the following rules:

  • do not strain the pelvic muscles;
  • exclude physical exertion, including lifting heavy objects;
  • hygienic tampons cannot be used;
  • exclude sexual relations;
  • limit visits to saunas, swimming pools and open bodies of water.

Despite the safety of the operation, there are a number of contraindications to its performance:

  • diabetes;
  • hepatitis in severe form;
  • problems with the functionality of the blood coagulation system;
  • HIV and AIDS;
  • any infectious diseases in an acute form;
  • malignant neoplasms;
  • chronic pathologies in the stage of exacerbation.

In addition, hymenoplasty is not performed for venereal diseases, cystitis and inflammatory processes of the genital organs. First, full treatment of these diseases is carried out until complete recovery - and only after that, the day of surgery can be set.
