Hymenal reconstruction or hymenoplasty is a surgical technique that aims to reconstruct the hymen that is intact in infancy and that breaks with the first sexual intercourse or with the use of tampons to control menstruation.
The technique consists of recovering the membranes that are torn from the hymen and stitching them back together in a simple surgical procedure that allows us to restore the vulva to its virginal appearance.
Sometimes we do not find hymenal remains and in this case we will have to make small flaps with the vaginal mucosa to reconstruct the hymen and make the vulva look pre-pubertal again.
The operation is simple, is performed under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis and requires vulvar rest for the first few weeks until complete healing, so we recommend waiting about a month to be able to have sexual intercourse for the first time.

Follow up
Yes, once reconstructed we find a membrane that separates the external part of the vagina from the deepest part of the vagina and it looks like a girl's hymen.
Yes, with the first sexual intercourse after reconstruction there will be a hymenal tear just like a virgin woman, which causes slight bleeding and some discomfort.
No, the scars that are theoretically present in a reconstructed hymen can also be present in a natural hymen.
Salvage surgeries are surgical treatments aimed at treating or modifying complications or negative results of a previous surgical treatment performed at another centre.
Below we will try to clarify some of the doubts that may arise before coming to our office and that may help you to make your decision.
