Frequently Asked Questions

Hymenoplasty, also known as hymen repair, hymenorrhaphy, and hymen surgery, is a clinically verified medical procedure to restore a woman’s broken hymen. It involves your doctor surgically repairing the broken ends or reconstructing a new hymen membrane by using a part of the vagina skin or synthetics.

Yes, hymenoplasty is legal in India. However, make sure you carry your age proof along. You need to be at least 18+ years of age to undergo the procedure.

Hymenoplasty as a procedure does not require any mandatory tests. However, it is important that you discuss your needs and expectations openly with your doctor. Based on the same, your gynecologist will take a physical exam to check the status of your hymen, that is if it is completely absent or has some broken remnants. Corresponding to the same, your gynecologist will prescribe you the best treatment.

To perform hymenoplasty, the vaginal site is first injected with local anesthesia. As the site numbs, the gynecologist uses very fine stitches to stitch together the broken remnant of the hymen. The stitches used are very minute and self dissolvable. The surgery typically takes less than 30 minutes and the stitches dissolve in around 15 days.

Both gynecologists and plastic surgeons can perform a hymenoplasty. However, a gynecologist with core experience in cosmetic-gynecology or obstetrics-gynecology is the most ideal choice.
