Hymenoplasty without Hypocrisy

Fewer consultations in our practice are as emotionally charged as the patient seeking hymenoplasty. Patients seek this procedure for many reasons, but most commonly it is to physically reverse an unwanted sexual encounter, or to enable a marriage which requires virginity as a precondition.

Our patients are often surprised to find themselves in a Plastic Surgeon’s office, not associating plastic surgery with a gynecologic procedure. It so happens that reconstruction of female genitalia, either following cancer surgery (vulvectomy) or in transgender surgery is a common part of plastic surgery training, and repair of a torn hymen is extremely simple relative to these other reconstructive procedures. An office like ours is also able to provide the privacy and confidentiality that is impossible to offer in a general hospital.

Does hymenoplasty ‘work’? Sutures used in the repair have fully dissolved by 3- 6 weeks following surgery, and the hymenal membrane heals without visible scar making detection of surgery impossible. Bleeding and pain during intercourse has been described to us as ‘ a bit more than the first time’, but that was not seen as a negative characteristic. No doubt confidence in one’s ‘virginity’ is the most important criteria for a successful performance.

Is hymenoplasty immoral? We are in no position to give advice here, but until men are required to be virgins at marriage it seems hypocrisy to expect that of women. What of beginning a marriage with a lie? Not ideal, but every relationship has its share of deceptions, and it is for you to decide if this one is necessary.

An intact hymen can take many different shapes, and it is unlikely that even a trained observer could identify a repaired hymen. We occasionally are asked by patients to confirm that they will bleed with intercourse, and that assessment would require an in-person consultation.

Hi Doctor, I’ve undergone hymenoplasty years ago, but when I google pictures of how a regular hymen looks like, it looks very different than mine. My surgery was successful and I’m not complaining, but would my future spouse be able to tell that my hymen has undergone repair? (it looks like it’s been sown up with an opening at the top for menstrual etc.)
Posted on Sep 29 2018 By admin

We recommend complete bowel evacuation prior to hymenoplasty to avoid post-op straining, but repair is not directly damaged by bowel strain. You will need to see your surgeon to determine that no damage has occurred.

Hi Dr
Had my hymen repair done a week before .
Got a lil hard stool few times , to which I had a minimum strain . Plus I sit for a long time is it fine ? Will these two concern not affect my repair ??? Plz revert back

There is always enough tissue, as vaginal lining can be used if the hymenal remnants are scant.
Posted on Jul 17 2018 By Sally

Is there a possibility of hymenoplasty being done if there isn’t enough hymen left?
Posted on Feb 23 2018 By admin

Hymen restoration does not prevent pregnancy, and no side effects should be anticipated.
Posted on Feb 20 2018 By SAWAIRA

AFTER DOING HYMEN RESTORING SURGERY WILL WE GET PREGNANT AND WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS
Posted on Feb 7 2018 By admin

Hymenoplasty will not prevent pregnancy or normal labour and delivery. The most predictable side effect following hymenoplasty is to experience minor pain and bleeding during intercourse!
Posted on Feb 7 2018 By Nasi Zadar

Is there any side effects of hymenoplasty like in future for having baby ??? Or any other side effect
Posted on Dec 20 2017 By admin

The hymenal tissues that are repaired in hymenoplasty are very fragile, and we advise our patients to not poke around to see if repair is intact. We offer to examine our patients at 6 weeks after surgery, to confirm repair integrity. At this stage the wound is strong enough to allow some exploration without causing an injury. We have not yet had a failure (to our knowledge). It is important to know that the entire opening to the vagina is not closed during hymenoplasty, just the lower/posterior section. In this way, normal menstruation will occur, and intercourse will reliably cause a tear and bleeding.
Posted on Dec 19 2017 By Tika

How can I know that my hymenoplasty is done correctly?
Posted on Jan 3 2017 By admin

The mucosa of the vagina can be repaired multiple times, although subsequent repairs may require more elaborate surgery. A consultation and examination would be necessary to make a recommendation.
Posted on Jan 3 2017 By Aya

Hello dr,
I have had hymenoplasty done using the flap method but I engaged in sexual intercourse a year later resulting in ‘losing my virginity’ again. I was wondering if it is possible to undergo the operation again? How many times can this procedure be done?
Posted on Jan 1 2017 By admin

Hymenoplasty will close the lower 2/3 of the vaginal opening. An opening must remain at the top for menstruation, urination etc.
Posted on Dec 27 2016 By Hans

7days past surgery something is pricking me down there. I checked and I think it’s the stitches. Just then I noticed that my vagina is not really closed. Em I assuming things or should I check with the doctor again
Posted on Jan 1 2017 By admin

By three months, the reconstructed hymen should behave as a virginal hymen. The upper part of the vagina is left open for menstrual flow.
Posted on Dec 23 2016 By Lima

Hello sir 3 month befor i had hymnoplasty surgery …pls now tell me is hymen reconstruction reliable like real hymen, i mean does it bleed in same quantity as i did at my first time? i’m much afraid that the hymnoplasty can works until get married for how long time?is not any problem when have a menstrul period
god bless you….
Posted on Dec 7 2016 By Serena

Will it be in my records for ever, will my husband ever find out?
Posted on Dec 7 2016 By admin

All of our patients can rely on us to keep their information private. Hymenoplasty will not impact your pregnancy/delivery and need not be information shared with anyone.
Posted on Dec 7 2016 By Serena

Hello

My question is..ifi get the repair done.. will my information stay super private.. is there anywaymyhusband can find out ? Will i need to disclose this information if i become pregnant in the future ?
Posted on Jun 4 2016 By Anna

but can a gynecologist determine that I had a surgery? Thanks
Posted on Jun 3 2016 By kreidstein-user

A repaired hymen is going to behave the same as a virginal hymen after 6 months. Until 6 months it may be a little more fragile, and bleeding may be more conspicuous with intercourse.
Many people have resorted to this surgery to help them to psychologically overcome a bad experience. Perhaps someone could comment on whether hymen repair proved to be helpful in recovery after sexual assault, etc.
Posted on Jun 3 2016 By Anna

Hello doc,

Will the hymen get thicker and harder to break with intercourse after 2,5-3 months after the surgery? I have read an article the other day that says the hymen will need to be tear with the surgeon assistance as it get thicker. I am not planning marriage yet. But I have gone through bad experience and want to make those memories blank.
Thanks

Hello again,
Thank you very much for answering my previous question. But, I actually forgot to mention something important in the first letter. The primary reason why I underwent a surgery is to have a labiaplasty. But before having this procedure performed, I asked my plastic surgeon if she could also tighten my hymen since I was previous told, by two gynecologists, that my hymen was intact (no tears) but stretched to the point that it would be very unlikely for me to bleed during my first sexual intercourse. When the surgeon examined me, she told me that I was very tight but still accepted to tighten my hymen during the labiaplasty. When she was actually performing the surgery, I was awake. So, I knew that she did both the labiaplasty and the hymenoplasty. The doctor even confirmed it to me. When I came back home on the day of the operation, I inspected myself in the mirror and even saw that my hymen was very well stitched, leaving only a very small entry. But then, 2 days after the surgery, my menstruation started which lasted 3 days. I took antibiotics during that period. 7 days after the procedure, I decided to take a look once again to see if the hymenoplasty was successful. To my surprise, I did not see any stitches and my hymen looked like before the surgery (maybe slightly tighter in 4 o’clock to 8 o’clock region). So my question is, is it possible that the stitches have dissolved more rapidly than usual due to the menstrual blood flow? What can actually explain the disappearance of stitches 7 days after the surgery? Can stitches detach themselves when the hymen is not stitched strongly enough?
Posted on Apr 28 2016 By kreidstein-user

There will be some signs of surgery including stitches at one week if an operation was done. You should ask your surgeon for an explanation.
Posted on Apr 28 2016 By Lucy

Hi,
I have had a hymenoplasty 7 days ago. My hymen was never ruptured but streched due to long term tampon use. I was so curious to see the results that I pulled my labia minora apart. I did not see any stiches and my hymen looked as if it hasn’t been stiched ( looked streched likes before). Also, i did not see any blood. Is this normal ? Have i damaged my hymen my trying to look down there? Or its too early to see the final results?
Posted on Apr 28 2016 By kreidstein-user

It is impossible to reassure you that your repair is intact without an examination, and I don’t recommend an examination until 6 weeks after surgery. Prior to this, the wound can be so fragile that probing around can disrupt the repair. You should seek out an examination to be confident in your result.
Posted on Apr 25 2016 By Noraz

One week ago i did hymenoplasty and yesterday morning i had little blood during the day. And suddenly today the feeling of swollen and the pain is very very less. My surgeon told me not to worry but i can not be not worried. Hes in different country so i can not do chek up. What do you think doctor? My period was suposed to come but im taking pills so it doesnt come. Im washing the area from yestrday with anti bacteria and fungi wash very softly and only external so careful also. I was walking alot in the previos 3 days but so slow. Please answer me soon. Thanks
Posted on Apr 2 2016 By kreidstein-user

Hymenoplasty is not a painful procedure (almost painless). Because the tissues are so fragile, we do not recommend trying to see the surgical site as you could accidentally cause a tear.
Posted on Mar 20 2016 By Samantha

I had hymenoplasty two days ago and I am not sure if I’m just lucky or what during surgery I had no pain and after the surgery still no sign of pain or blood is this normal ? and I did try looking threw the mirror but I didn’t stretch anything it should be fine right? my follow-up is next week I’m kinda of worried cuz I’m getting married July 18 I want to be able to bleed with first sex, I talked to my sergon he said everything is going normal if am using sits bath which I am
Posted on Mar 12 2016 By kreidstein-user

It is impossible to fully reassure you without an examination. What is the reason you aren’t asking your surgeon for advice? When you choose a surgeon, be sure to consider how available they will be for you after surgery. If they are ‘too busy’ or ‘too intimidating’, then choose a different surgeon!
Posted on Mar 11 2016 By Luna

I had mine done yesterday, and it was all okay, I fell down but not too bad on my bum and I didn’t feel a tear or anything inside me, I also didn’t go to he toilet today because in the place I study the toilets are dirty. I came home and I went to the toilet and saw a brownish stain on my underwear and then I saw a few drops of blot (around two), and I’m freaking out. I’m so scared, I didn’t feel anything tear inside me but I’m just so scared. Please respond..
Posted on Feb 29 2016 By kreidstein-user

Some swelling is present at 6 weeks but only detectable on close examination. I would not expect the repair to be detectable even on close inspection by a gynecologist after 12 weeks.
Posted on Feb 21 2016 By Ibrahim

Hi doctor
I’m a junior ob/gyn from Egypt
here hymenoplasty is banned and abominable , yet it’s done illegally
whatever , I read a lot about it and saw videos but still my experience is narrow
and I’ve been asked by many if the operation after the full recovery (6 weeks ) can be discovered
and at time of penetration will be a difference considering the co;our of the bleeding
and is there a way a gynecologist know the difference before and after operation

thx alot
Posted on Feb 16 2016 By kreidstein-user

We typically see old brown blood released for up to two weeks after hymenoplasty, but a tearing sensation is a concern. Please arrange to see your surgeon to get advice.
Posted on Jan 24 2016 By Laura

its been 6 days since the hymenoplasty surgery. I bend over to pick up something and felt a rip and am really worried if I teared my hymen. There was no bleeding but that night I seen brown blood that could’ve been from menstruation please help!
Posted on Apr 18 2015 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

You should be very careful to avoid stretching the repaired hymen for about 6 weeks after surgery. The repaired tissues are very fragile and can be torn easlily. If you are concerned, you should see your surgeon who can examine the area and confirm your repair is intact.
Posted on Apr 17 2015 By Fara

how can i know the surgery wen successful? can i see it using a mirror?
is checking with mirror hurt the results?

Roughly how much would it cost for me to get hymenoplasty
Posted on Jan 28 2015 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

There should be some pain with initial intercourse (as with virginal intercourse). No impact on conception.

We would do up to 4 a month. Prior history is not generally relevant to the success of this surgery.
Posted on Jan 27 2015 By Jasmine

hello , how many times a month do u normally preform this surgery? does it matter how many times you had sexual intercourse to be getting a hymenoplasty?
Posted on Dec 29 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Hymenoplasty does not expire over time. We do not offer vaginoplasty, and most authorities dispute the value of this procedure.
Posted on Dec 27 2014 By Jonae

How long does this surgery last? What are the requirements? What about vaginalplasty too for tight lips of vagina?
Posted on Nov 6 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

It’s impossible to conclude anything without an examination. You should either see your surgeon, or someone else skilled in hymenoplasty.
Posted on Nov 4 2014 By sasha

I did laser hymenoplasty & had no bleeding or pain till the 11th day after the procedure. I woke up and urinated and saw drops of blood coming out and two stitches in the toilet which i retrieved. The spotting stopped five mins later. Does this mean that the procedure did not work? Im worried something went wrong but idk what because i was really careful, i tried to get in contact with the surgeon but no reply. Plz help
Posted on Nov 1 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Time does not cause a hymen (including repaired) to deteriorate. No maintenance is required.

Posted on Sep 18 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

There is no way to confirm anything without an exam, and I recommend that exam be delayed until 6 weeks to avoid damaging the healing tissues.

Hi doctor
I had hymenoplasty 3 days ago, but my surgeon told me bleeding is my guaranteed, please could you advise if my hymen has healed successfully will it tear upon intersperse and when it tears will it bleed
Posted on Sep 18 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Hi Hannah,
The repair is not intended to cover the introitus (opening) of the vagina completely, as there must be an opening to permit menstrual flow. If you are not confident in your surgeon’s opinion, seek out an independent gynecologist for an opinion as to whether you will bleed with intercourse.
Posted on Sep 16 2014 By Hannah

Hello doctor, I underwent surgery about 4 and half months ago. After the check up 6 weeks later the doctor said it was fine however after I checked it still doesn’t seem like a 100% and today after having to go to the toilet (soft stools) being on my period almost done I had some felt a little strange as if the place of surgery had opened. How do I know if the surgery is still successful?
Posted on Aug 13 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

You should review the specifics of your care with your surgeon. In general, it is safe to exercise or swim after three weeks.
Posted on Aug 11 2014 By Lulu

Dear Doctor,

I have done my surgery 2 weeks ago, the pain and bleeding has stopped 4 days after. no discomfort as well. by the 3rd week, can I resume going to the gym with light exercise? Can I also swim?
Posted on Aug 6 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

We recommend that patients wait until 6 weeks after surgery to examine the hymen repair. At that point the healing is strong enough that it won’t be accidentally damaged by inspection.
Posted on Aug 3 2014 By Zou

Hello dr . How can i confirm that the re-hymen surgery was done successfully?
Posted on Jul 10 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Time will not damage an intact hymen. You can use a mirror to examine yourself. Remember that there is normally an opening in the hymen (permits menstrual flow).
Posted on Jul 9 2014 By Karen

Hello doctor, i had hymenoplasty sugery more than 5 years ago and i had not intercourse during those 5 years.

5-0 suture is appropriate, 3-0 is much too coarse and would remain visible for months.

Hello doctor I’m 23 years old I have had sex but not full penetration because I didn’t bleed I underwent a physical examination and my hymen has been torn in several places. I want to know if it is being stitched at a 5/0 or 3/0 thread is there any possibility that it will be visible after healing and will there be any discoloration to the skin because they are dissolvable stitches.

Posted on Apr 23 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

If surgery was done by a qualified surgeon, that problem should rarely/never occur.

Hello many websites states after 2-3 weeks stitches dissolve and hymen remnants separate like before surgery. How accurate is this and is that the typical result of hymenoplasty procedure?

You should be able to pass your ‘test’ by 6 weeks following hymenoplasty
Posted on Mar 29 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Hi Chasha,
A hymenoplasty will last any length of time, and bleed following intercourse. You would do best to have surgery about 6 months before ‘special day’.

Not true.
Posted on Mar 10 2014 By Ayisha

Hi dr i have read that Hymenoplasty is not going to actually cause bleeding and you need a rejuvenation surgery and tightening. Is this true even if there is a small tear after surgery will there be bleeding?
Posted on Feb 18 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

We offer this surgery to patients 18 and older. We review all limitations prior to surgery, but you should not be overly restricted by surgery.
Posted on Feb 18 2014 By Melissa

I was abused and lost my virginity when I was 14 and I am strongly considering to have my hymen repaired. I’m was wondering at what age can I have this procedure done? How could I prepare before the days of the surgery and will I be able do simple tasks like walking up and down stairs or driving for long periods of time during the first weeks of recovery?
Posted on Feb 15 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

I agree with your surgeon that an early exam could damage the repair, but by 6 weeks it is safe to have an examination to confirm the hymenoplasty is intact. Without an exam, there is no way to know if the repair has failed. Intercourse at 4 weeks should be ok, although some suture material (stitches) may remain.
Posted on Feb 13 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Bleeding after hymenoplasty may represent a tear, or just blood pooled in the vagina during surgery that leaks out once standing. You should discuss this with your surgeon.
Posted on Feb 4 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

You should bleed with intercourse after a hymenoplasty, provided that the repaired hymen was not torn at some point in the interval.
Posted on Feb 2 2014 By Sara

Hi dr. I had intercourse after a year of surgery but I had no bleeding. Is it possible not to bleed in the first intercourse after surgery?
Posted on Jan 26 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

It is possible that some penetration and injury did occur. Menstrual flow will not tear a repaired hymen provided there is enough opening for flow to occur.
Posted on Jan 26 2014 By Sara

I did the surgery a year ago and I never had any problems. BUT I noticed that the whole that menstrual blood comes out, is being larger over time. Is this because of masturbating that my boyfriend did – sometimes did it by myself (no penetration, just touched the clitor)?

Posted on Jan 5 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

We perform the surgery while you are asleep. If done awake the pain could be significant. Pain after the surgery would be a 1-3/10
Posted on Dec 28 2013 By felicity

will this surgery hurt? if so on a scale of 1-10 how much? also will it hurt to urinate afterwards??
Posted on Jan 5 2014 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Hi Sasha,
Decision of repair will depend on examination of your wound. I would recommend delay until 6 weeks as revision surgery would need to wait that long, and examination earlier could tear an intact repair. Hymenoplasty does not fail over time.
Posted on Dec 25 2013 By sasha

Hellow Dr. So when its tear does this mean I should undergo the surgery again?,and for how long wil I stay with it as in the hymen that was repaired to what certain duration can it go far?Can I stay up to 5 years with the repair?
Posted on Dec 25 2013 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

Hi Sasha,
Some blood is trapped in the vagina at the end of surgery and can exit when having a bowel movement and appear as ‘bleeding’. That said, straining at a bm can cause a tear early in wound healing. Our routine is for patients to use a bowel prep before surgery to clear bowels so that there is time for healing before first bm.
Posted on Dec 24 2013 By sasha

Hello Dr.i had my hymenoplasty yesterday and today I noticed blood after my bowel movement,does this mean it has already tear?..please advice
Posted on Nov 27 2013 By Dr. Michael Kreidstein

It is possible to partially tear a hymen, and still have bleeding with intercourse. Consider having a physical examination to determine if your hymen is sufficiently intact to have bleeding with intercourse.
Posted on Nov 26 2013 By M..M

Hello Dr. I had sex with my boyfriend many times but no intercourse but when i go home I found blood! that happened 2 times, I’m not sure if I lost my hymen or not and would it matter if I just go for the surgery ?

If your surgery was successful, you will bleed and some pain (minor) would be anticipated.

Posted on Oct 14 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Sara,
A few drops of blood could indicate a tear (partial or complete) at your repair site. We commonly see some dark blood 7 -10 days after surgery because clots get trapped behind the hymen when it is repaired, and when they dissolve they appear as dark red fluid.
Posted on Oct 10 2013 By Sara

Posted on Sep 28 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Vaginoplasty is not part of our practice, and it is not a highly regarded procedure among gynecologists. I don’t think your partner will appreciate any different quality to intercourse aside from some bleeding.

Posted on Sep 2 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

If your masturbation did not include vaginal penetration, then in all likelihood your hymen is sufficiently intact for you to bleed during intercourse. You should seek out a surgeon who will give you proper advice before undergoing unnecessary surgery.

I’ve lost my hymen while fingering when i had almost 15 years old ! I’m 21 now and till now i haven’t done any sexual relation with penetration in the vagina !! I’m looking forward to repair my hymen for cultural reasons !! As i saw, i still have a part of my hymen attached to the lower side of my vagina but detached from the upper one ! i want to know if after the surgery will it be the same with no differences as it was before being broken ? How much the surgery costs ? And if during the 1st penetration after the surgery will the blood be the same with the same quantity as when the original one broke ?!
My last question is: does the masturbation have any side effect on the hymen ?
Posted on Aug 28 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Normal activities will not damage your repair. Straining on the toilet should be avoided by using laxatives, and pre-op bowel prep.
Posted on Aug 27 2013 By Sarah

Dear dr.
I wish to know whether having normal showers, normal day to day activities , like walking normally or being seated for long hours effects the hymen after hymenoplasty ?!
Please respond soon
Thank you

Hymenoplasty does not prevent menstruation
Posted on Aug 13 2013 By nakshatra

Does hymenoplasty involve any risk? I have heard that after hymenoplasty, periods doesn’t occur. Is that true?
Posted on Aug 3 2013 By Natalia

Dear doctor, I have done hymenoplasty 23 days ago today I found blood (it is not menstrual blood) do you think that I need to redo the surgery? If not what should I do? I am really worried and I did it in a different country please help me with your advice
Posted on Aug 3 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Provided you do not need to spread your legs widely it is safe, but better to wait until 6 weeks.
Posted on Aug 3 2013 By Natalia

Dear doctor, is it safe to consider laser hair removal after hymenoplasty (for the pubic area) I did the operation a month ago.
Posted on Aug 3 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

It is normal to see some dark blood 10 days to two weeks after surgery, as some blood clots are trapped behind the hymen and take time to liquify. You should consult with your surgeon if you are concerned that your repair has torn. A partial tear could still allow for functional and cosmetic success.

We can’t comment with authority on surgery performed elsewhere, but bleeding should be visible but not require any intervention but a hygeine pad, and any sutures should have long since dissolved.

Hi dr,

i had hymenoplasty for 5 months now, if i have sex again will there be alot of blood lost?? And i will need to go to the hospital? Since the stitches need to be removed after first intercourse?

Thankyou
Posted on Jul 27 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

We do not schedule to avoid menstrual period, and have not had associated problems.
Posted on Jul 27 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Time does not cause an intact hymen to tear, although the potential for accidental trauma or unanticipated sexual intercourse is greater. Surgery in 8 years would be wiser.
Posted on Jul 27 2013 By Aliaa

Hello Dr.

I am planning of getting a hymenoplasty procedure done, but i am on tight schedule and the only available timings would be 2 or 3 days BEFORE my periods. I’ve read on many websites that it is better done after the periods but as I said I am on tight schedule. My question is, getting it done 2-3 days before can risk the failure of the surgery?
Posted on Jul 17 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Time will not damage your hymen repair
Posted on Jul 17 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Number of sexual experiences or vaginal tone are not important to a successful procedure.
Posted on Jul 16 2013 By Krystal

Hi doctor,
Does it matter how many times a woman has had sexual intercourse before she gets hymenoplasty? I’ve had sex 4 times and bled a lot the first two times but did not the tjird and fourth time. I read somewhere that the vagina must be loose for the surgery to be performed. Could you advise?
Posted on Jul 7 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Shannon,
We don’t profess to be relationship counselors, but having your hymen repaired does not make you a virgin, and lying to your partner is not a good way to establish a relationship. Vaginal rejuvenation is a discredited procedure that has no role for you.
Posted on Jun 26 2013 By Shannon

Hi, I know that I’m a bit young. But, I’m 18 years old and I lost my virginity due to the fact that I thought I was in love. But, in reality I was just being played for a fool. Well, now that I’ve gotten older and I’ve actually found someone who I know for a fact loves me. Because we haven’t had any type of sexual intercourse, and I know for sure that he’s the one that I would have liked to give my virginity to. Is there any possible way that I can get the hymenoplasty done along with the vaginal rejuvination?
Posted on Jun 16 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

A second repair often involves using the mucosa of the vagina to create a membrane, and that is more likely to leave areas of discomfort in the vagina. This should improve with time.
Posted on Jun 11 2013 By Noella

Hi dr. Did this procedure twice, 1st time the result was great.. 2nd time the recovery was so easy.. But Had intercourse 5 weeks later with my husband and it was very painful.. Now at 12 weeks still feel pain and dryness and sore on the vulva with stingy feeling, during and after intercourse.. Did tests and everything seems fine.. Whats wrong with me?!
Posted on Jun 16 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

If there is a membrane that partially covers the opening to the vagina and would tear/bleed with intercourse, that would constitute a successful operation.
Posted on Jun 11 2013 By dareen

hi,
You have mentioned examining the success of prcedure can be done by the patient after 6 weeks, may you please explain how it can be done? And what indicates the success of the procedure or failure please? Because some patients can not visit the drs office regularly

Thankyou very much

Swimming should not effect repair
Posted on Jun 11 2013 By Diana

Good day dr,
I had the hymenoplasty 2 months a go, am i able to go swimming? Or will that affect the surgery?
Posted on Jun 8 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

It is possible to repeat the procedure, but using the original tissues for a second and subsequent repairs creates tension and a risk of the new hymen pulling apart with casual activity. In this situation we modify the procedure using a flap technique to create a new hymen.
Posted on Jun 5 2013 By loseia

How many times can I do the surgery? ? I did it once but obviously it failed. . I had it 2 times.. not satisfied with the results at all
Posted on May 27 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Within the first 6 weeks a surgical repair would be evident. Beyond that it should be undetectable.
Posted on May 22 2013 By saya

i have a question after surgery do other doctors find out you have done surgery?
Posted on May 9 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Maria,
Please see your operating surgeon for any post-op care or questions.
Posted on May 6 2013 By Maria

I Had been get the surgery
a week ago after the operation I feel strained and mild pain in the vagina
Posted on May 9 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

H Jeen,
We allow our patients to walk immediately after surgery, but you should get advice specific to your needs from your surgeon.
Posted on Apr 30 2013 By Jeen

Hello,
Dr i walk everyday to work, i made the hymenoplasty a few weeks ago , iam not supossed to walk?
Posted on Apr 28 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Good point here- we do not encourage people to poke around during the first 6 weeks as tissues are weak. Even at 6 weeks, tissue strength is only 40% of normal. After 6 weeks you should feel free to examine the repair, as simply pulling the labia apart to see the hymen will not cause any damage at that point.

If you examine at two weeks the repair will be appear intact, but too much stretching will cause a tear- at two weeks the strength would be comparable to wet tissue paper.
Posted on Apr 27 2013 By Meme

Hello Dr.
You said that you” do not routinely examine patients for success after surgery, as this examination can easily be done by the patient.” how the patient can do the examination by herself, is there any problem to look through the mirror and move the vagnial wall from outside only ?

you said also that ” At 6-8 weeks the hymen is slightly swollen but would appear otherwise normal” . is that mean that we can see the result only after 6 weeks but not before? that mean we can see different view after 6 weeks of what we see 2 weeks post surgery ?
Posted on Apr 26 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

You should limit exercise for 6 weeks after hymen repair. Beyond that period, activity is unrestricted.
Posted on Apr 26 2013 By Nadia

Hi i gotten hymen repair a year and a half ago i never had sex or did harsh activity but i did walk on the tredmill then stopped because 1 dr said its not good, other dr said walking is fine it wont break a hymen unless u stick something inside or do hardh activity i would like another opnion im scared but i been healed everythin was tight again is it possible i can
Get loose over goin on walks on a tredmill??
Posted on Apr 25 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

I would not recommend any activity near the hymen for 6 weeks. At 6 weeks, wound strength is about 40% of normal and would be sufficient to allow for masturbation provided there was no penetration.
Posted on Apr 25 2013 By Zaina

good day

Dr does masturbation effect on hymeoplasty?
Posted on Apr 25 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

A successful procedure results in a membrane that partially covers the entry to the vagina. Complete closure is not normal and is not the goal of surgery. We do not routinely examine patients for success after surgery, as this examination can easily be done by the patient.
Posted on Apr 25 2013 By Dona

Hello dr,

Can you please tell me how the dr will check if the procedure is successfull or failed? And what is the signs of a failure and successful surgery.

Thankyou

Hi Sara,
Forgive me for being so direct, but these are questions you should be asking your surgeon!
Best wishes
Dr. Kreidstein
Posted on Apr 16 2013 By Sara

I had the hymeoplasty 8 days ago,i have had the viganal wall narrowed as the doctor said the stitches are not dissolvable, so after intercourse i have to go remove them is that true? And i want to know why i have to remove them? also he stitched the hymen with dissolvable stitches, how long will they stay? iam not having any pain or anything i feel very normal, is that how iam suposed to feel? how will i know that my stitches are broken what are the signs? Sorry for the long question.
Posted on Apr 14 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Pain is unusual after hymenoplasty. You should see your surgeon to confirm procedure is successful thus far. Do not try to examine area yourself as wound is very fragile for first three weeks and you could accidently tear the repair.
Posted on Apr 13 2013 By Dina

Hi dr, i have had the hymenoplasty done, this is my 5th day, i do not have any pain or any thing anymore, is that normal?? Or does it mean that the surgery has failed??
Posted on Apr 13 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Sara,
We perform our surgery under general anesthetic so that we can do a meticulous two-layer repair without rushing or fear for patient discomfort. We have had one patient suffer a partial tear due to extreme constipation and straining on the toilet after surgery, and now include bowel preparation as part of our routine to prevent constipation. I can’t comment on the details of your situation, but would be happy to see you in consultation.
Posted on Apr 12 2013 By sara

Hi Doc,
I have gone through the hymenoplasty and after few days had pain and visited dr as per your advise to find that i need to re-perform the surgery again for which I have gone through bad pain as the dr did not use anesthesia .

After the second surgery I was very careful relaxed for almost 15 days at home however after 3 weeks I visited the dr for follow up and she told that the side that she performed operation is ok however the other side is torn.

I have asked her how this is possible and she informed it can be done only by intercouse .I am sure that I was not involved in any kind of sexual activity however she did not agree and asked me to redo the surgery and pay same amount of money.

I have decided not to redo the surgery as i do not trust the dr however while I was checking in the mirror I have noticed that there is a scare like a cut on the left side and hymen on the right side.

My questions are :
1- Do you think that the dr is not telling the truth and she wants to charge me more ?
2- Will the cut/scar gets better or disappear
3- If the the cut wont get better is there any solution to do that.

My apology for the long note, I am confused and need some advise.
Posted on Mar 4 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

A hymenoplasty repair will not fail over time, but only if it is physically torn. Ideally there would be at least 6 weeks between surgery and the wedding date.
Posted on Mar 4 2013 By sadaf

Hello doc
I am opting for marriage in next 2 years. i wanted to undergo the hymenoplasty surgery but wanted it as in this year only..will the surgery stay for 2 years, if i do not go for any sexual activity.please suggest the right time to do it.
Posted on Feb 24 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Yes, labiaplasty is not compromised by menstruation
Posted on Feb 23 2013 By Maya

Dr. what about labiaplasty minora can the procedure be done during menstruation without any side effects like infection etc..
Posted on Feb 23 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Maya,
The hymen does not entirely cover the vaginal opening, and menstrual flow does not interfere with the surgery.
Posted on Feb 23 2013 By Maya

Can this procedure be done during menstruation? what if on the date of surgery i had unexpected period like if for ex. it came 3 or 4 days earlier unexpectedly

Hi Sara,
I have no explanation for why your surgeon said a hymenoplasty only lasts for a year, but in combination with the exorbitant $6000 fee, I question whether the surgeon actually does the operation. I don’t know of any surgeon who performs this surgery in Australia- sorry!
Posted on Feb 18 2013 By Sara

Hello there doctor I want to undergo hymenoplasty yet my surgeon said that it won’t last more than a year and I have to pay 6000$s. is that right or he simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about ? I’m in Australia btw. Do u have any recommended plastic surgeons in sydney Australia where I could get it done who have the same qualifications as u do? Please I’m desperate.
Posted on Feb 16 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Sara,
This is a question that is best answered by your own surgeon. We don’t recommend any cleaning (beyond irrigation with dilute betadine), as the repaired hymen is very fragile and can be torn simply by ‘trying to take a look’ New pain and bleeding do suggest a problem though, and you should be seen by your surgeon immediately.
Posted on Feb 16 2013 By sara

3rd day after the surgery i woke up feeling discomfort , and found little bleeding while cleaning the area . The bleeding is not stopping . Would like to know if this means the stitch are broken and how would i know if it is?
Thank you
Posted on Jan 26 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi “Jimmy”,
Constipation is a concern after hymenoplasty, and we recommend a bowel prep like Mag Citrate followed by stool softeners to minimize the risk of straining following surgery. If you had some bleeding, you should see your surgeon just to be sure that you didn’t have a significant tear. Good luck!
Posted on Jan 22 2013 By jimmy

4 days past surgery i had constipation due to which i had strain over there.. i had some bleeding.. does this mean it is damaged??
Posted on Jan 10 2013 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hi Sarah,
Your hymen can be damaged by penetration of any kind, but not by sexual arousal.
Posted on Jan 10 2013 By Sarah

Ivs done hymen repair and everything came out good if i dont have sexual intercourse but my boyfriend kisses me and i get turned on will this break my hymen repair that i got a year ago? He did not touch down there at all
Posted on Nov 18 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

This operation should be performed at least 6 weeks prior to your wedding, and after you have discontinued any pre-marital sexual activity. There is no illness or disease associated with hymen repair.
Posted on Nov 18 2012 By dizzy

i’m a twenty year old woman. I plan not to get married before i’m twenty eight. could you advice on the right time to go through the surgery? also can the surgery lead to any kind of infection, disease or malignancy in the future? the very thought of this surgery is making me paranoid, however , i don’t have any other option. thank you..
Posted on Nov 2 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

Previous abortion would not prevent undergoing hymenoplasty.
Posted on Nov 2 2012 By ...

Hi there can you please tell me can I still have the surgery even if I had an abortion? Thank you
Posted on Nov 2 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

It would be unusual for there to be no hymenal remnant, but even if this were the case surgery will still be an option. The mucosa that lines the vagina can be used as a subtitute that would be almost identical to the original hymenal tissue.
Posted on Nov 1 2012 By Aya

I have heard that to do the surgery there needs to be tissue left or remnants how do I know if I have some left and would any girl have tissue ‘remnants’ left? If not could the surgery still be done? What could make me not have any tissue left any reasons? Thank you!
Posted on Oct 2 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

10 days after surgery, your tissues are at their most fragile, and so the repair site may have been damaged. It is difficult to examine the repair in the first three weeks following surgery, as the act of examination may in itself damage the repair. Assuming that you can afford to wait (no impending marriage, etc.), your surgeon should examinine you 6 weeks after surgery and see if there is a problem that needs correction.

I had hymen repair surgery 10 days ago i accidentally tripped and felled on my ass, my tail bone does this affect the hymen? Is there any risk of this interfering w the healing?
Posted on Jul 11 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

Surgical time is about 30 minutes
Posted on Jul 10 2012 By amy

how long the surgery would it take ?
Posted on Jun 5 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

The sutures used to repair the hymen are absorbable, and it would be normal for stitches to be falling out at two weeks. The important thing is that there be no strain on the repaired hymen, as it remains fragile for at least 6 weeks. Straining at bowel movement can put a strain on the repair, and we recommend bowel wash-out before hymenoplasty and stool softeners after the procedure to minimize this risk.
Posted on Jun 5 2012 By sasou

what are the symptoms of hymenoplasty failure?Is the fall of the stiture after two weeks is a sign of failure or it is normale?
Posted on Mar 28 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

There is no time limit for hymenoplasty. It will bleed with first intercourse at any future date.
Posted on Mar 22 2012 By jaz

If i do the surgery in 2 months time and get married after 1 year will the Hymenoplasty still work for 100% and yeah i am doing the surgery because of religious and culture issue. Should i have no worry about the surgery i mean will it work 100% on the married night?

At 6-8 weeks the hymen is slightly swollen but would appear otherwise normal.

What exactly happens in the healing process of a hymenoplast and please advise during the hymenoplasty will the hymen look the same as it will be once fully healed ( after 6-8 weeks etc )?
Posted on Mar 3 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hymenoplasty involves the excision of the torn edges of the hymen, then sewing the fresh edges together. The membrane heals quickly, and the sutures dissolve and disappear. By 6 weeks the appearance is of a virginal hymen. Much like a cut inside your mouth, the mucosa of the hymen heals very quickly and scars are not visible.

The surgical time for hymenoplasty is 30 minutes. Our patients stay for a few hours after surgery, then begin normal light activities immediately.

At consultation we review the potential side-effects from surgery (including altered sensation/pain and wound complications including failure of the repair), but we have not yet had a patient report any such problems.

How does hymenoplasty tightens vaginal muscles?
Posted on Jan 10 2012 By Dr. Kreidstein

Hymenoplasty is not intended to make vagina tight, but simply to reconstruct the cover to the vaginal opening (hymen) for women seeking bleeding that would imitate virginal intercourse. Procedures have been described to tighten the vaginal opening (“Vaginal Rejuvenation”), but the American College of Obstetricians and Gyncecologists (experts in vaginal function) do not recommend this procedure.
Our current fee for Hymenoplasty is $2500 + hst.

Does hymenoplasty make my vagina tight? after the surgery it will not torn did i have to speciality treatment i work very heavy job and how much it cost.
Thank you
Posted on Dec 27 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

Injury (tears) during child-birth can create laxity in the vaginal opening. As you have not given birth, a hymen repair should be more than sufficient to achieve your goals.
Posted on Dec 25 2011 By Aman

Does hymenoplasty make your vagina tight too? Is it the same as being a virgin?Will my vagina be in the same shape as it was when I was a virgin? I’m looking for a procedure that would make my vagina in the same shape as it was before. I don’t have kids but I feel it is not very tight. The reason I’m looking into this procedure is because I want to give that feeling of doing it the very first time to my boyfriend. Is it the right procedure for my needs?Thanks
Posted on Nov 6 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

The repaired hymen will remain intact just as would a virginal hymen, until intercourse or other trauma disrupts the membrane.
Posted on Nov 5 2011 By jassica

how long the surgery will last far?.. can you get this surgery done a yr before you get married?..
Posted on Oct 31 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

You are voicing a sensible concern, but we have not yet had a hymenoplasty fail, and we do not take precautions to time procedure relative to menstrual cycle.
Posted on Oct 31 2011 By Aisha Jonhson

Hi, you said the vaginal opening is only 2/3 closed after hymenoplasty such that normal menstrual blood can flow out. However, the question is, if ones period comes three days after the surgery, would that not dissolve sutures used to repair or hold the repaired hymen hence distorting the repaired hymen?
Posted on Oct 31 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

Our patients do walk normally after surgery. We do not recommend any cleaning regimen after the surgery, although a gentle douche with dilute (1/100) betadine solution can be used.
Posted on Oct 28 2011 By sheronda Johnson

I understand the hymenoplasty surgery is safe and guaranties one bleeding after intercourse. However, what would happen if one menustrates three days after the procedure, would this cause the sutures to dissolve, or does this not affect sures at all. Also, after the procedure can one walk normally or is her step altered. Finally, how does one wash their vagina after the procedure to avoid infections resulting from a lack of hygiene.
Posted on Aug 6 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

Each patient we care for is assessed for their physical and mental fitness for surgery. That said, we have not yet had to deny surgery to anyone seeking hymenoplasty. A minimum of 6 weeks is recommended for healing after hymenoplasty.
Posted on Aug 6 2011 By Sara

How much does Hymenoplasty cost?
Posted on Mar 22 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

This is a common question. Repair of a torn hymen only blocks part of the vaginal opening, and so menstrual flow or ‘period’ can pass through the remaining opening without concern. It should go without saying that a sanitary pad should be used, not a tampon!
Posted on Mar 22 2011 By Sarah

Having the period just 3 days after revirginization will harm the operation?
Posted on Feb 1 2011 By Dr. Kreidstein

By 3-6 weeks after hymenoplasty, virginal intercourse would be reproduced. We do not close the entire vaginal opening, but only close the lower 2/3s and thus menstrual flow is unobstructed.
Posted on Jan 31 2011 By F A

The Hymenoplasty can works until get married for how long time? Is not any prblem when have a mestrual period?
