Hymenorrhaphy

A quick procedure that restores the hymen temporarily.

Hymenorrhaphy is a procedure that aims to partially restore the anatomical continuity of the hymen by suturing its remnants. It is a quick procedure, performed under local anaesthetic and as a day case, after a personalised consultation. The reconstruction can be carried out on the day of the wedding or in the days preceding it, according to the technique chosen and the anatomical situation. When sufficient hymenal remnants are present, this technique offers one of the best chances of bleeding at first intercourse.

Advice

• Observe the period indicated during the consultation before any intercourse
• Avoid tampons and intense effort in the days following the procedure
• Plan the appointment taking into account how long the result lasts

FAQ

How long does the result last?

As the result is temporary, its duration is discussed during the consultation according to the technique used and the date being aimed for.

Is it always possible if the hymenal remnants are insufficient?

No, in that case the prior creation of new hymenal tissue (hymenoplasty) may be necessary, on which a reconstruction is then performed. These two procedures can be combined in two stages, with a suitable interval between them, after a personalised anatomical assessment.

Is the care confidential?

Yes, discretion is assured at every stage, from booking the appointment to the follow-up.
