HYMENOPLASTY

Cultural norms, beliefs, family demands, and even sexual goals are some of the major factors as to why many women allow to undergo the knife ‘hymenoplasty’. In simple terms, hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs the torn hymen. 

According to a hymenoplasty surgeon at AG Clinics, hymenoplasty has gained an increased demand for the past few years in India and around the world. 

Why Women Undergo Hymenoplasty?

Generally; cultural, social, marital and sexual goals are some of the major reasons as to why women undergo hymenoplasty. 

For some women, it is believed that having an intact hymen before marriage can increase their sexual arousal with their spouse. 

Other times, girls or women who have had pre-marital sex undergo this procedure to avoid humiliation from their partner or inlaws. 

Family demands can also force a lady to undergo hymenoplasty in case she lost her virginity earlier on. 

Other times, rigorous sports or physical exercises can tear the hymen. 

Hymenoplasty Types 

At this point, we are going to talk about 3 hymenoplasty surgeries or procedures performed in hospitals. 

⦁    The Basic Hymenoplasty Approach.

In case a patient’s hymen was just slightly torn or there are remains of it, the surgeon can simply stitch the hymen back together. It is an outpatient procedure and either performed under local or general anesthesia. 

⦁    Hymen Reconstruction.

This technique is generally performed to create a new hymen with the help of tissues from the lip of the vagina. It is performed under general anesthesia to prevent pain. 

⦁    The Alloplant Approach. 

This procedure is conducted when the remnants of the hymen can not be stitched back together and it is conducted under local anesthesia. 

How Much To Pay For Hymenoplasty?

The cost of hymenoplasty in India ranges from Rs. 45, 000 to Rs. 80,000 in cosmetic clinics. However, the cost can also differ depending on the location of the clinic, hymenoplasty type, patient’s goals, care, and follow-up care and treatment.
