Hymenoplasty or hymen reconstruction is the surgical procedure of restorating the hymen, a thin, pinkish colored membrane which partially covers the vaginal entrance. Hymen is is a part of the vulva and is located approximately half an inch inside the vagina. The function of the hymen is exactly unknown. But, the hymen is considered to act as a barrier which prevents the external sources of infection from entering the vagina until puberty. The hymen generally ruptures during the first sexual intercourse. However, the hymen can also get torn at any age due to strenuous activities like bicycling, horseback riding and gymnastics. Using tampons can also, sometimes, break the hymen. Some females are even born without an intact hymen
Treatment
The gynecologist will physically examine the patient to make sure she is fit for the surgery.
Hymenoplasty is a clinic based procedure performed under general or local anesthesia, as recommended by the gynecologist. The doctor will then make a transverse incision in the vestibular mucosa posterior to the vaginal wall. The surgery is performed by uniting the remaining torn tags of the hymen. The broken tags of the hymen are joined with self-dissolvable sutures, which dissolve in 15-21 days. After the operation, patients are advised to always keep the area clean and apply the ointment regularly.The female has to maintain proper hygiene and wear loose fitting clothes after the surgery. Avoid using irritants or scented sprays or washes around the vaginal area.

No. Hymenoplasty surgery is one of the procedures not covered by medical insurance plans as it only offers cosmetic benefits. However, there are other financing options to consider to pay for the procedure.
Virginity is nothing but a social concept usually understood as the breaking of the hymen. If you want to reconstruct a broken hymen, you can undergo a hymenoplasty procedure. It is an effective and clinically proven way to stitch together all the loosened ends of the broken hymen and reconstruct it as it was before
Revirginisation is usually understood as the artificial reconstruction of hymen. And unfortunately, no home remedies, fruits, or herbs can regrow the hymen without surgery. The only effective and clinically proven method to reconstruct a hymen is- hymenoplasty.
Virginity capsules (also known as blood capsules) are penetrative capsules sold with artificial colour. They are usually sold as a way to fake hymen tear and bleeding after sexual intercourse. And no, they are not effective. In fact, they are heavily unpopular for disturbing the natural Ph balance of the vaginal area and cause incessant vaginal itching, dryness, foul smell, and bacterial infections.The only clinically verified way to rebuild a hymen is hymenoplasty.
Hymenoplasty (also commonly known as revirginization surgery) can be performed at both- gyne clinics and hospitals.
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.

The sooner, the better! Hymenoplasty takes around 1- 1.5 months to heal completely and prepare for penetration. Therefore, it is a good decision to get it done at least 2 months before your planned event. However, since hymen does not automatically break unless penetrated through a vaginal activity or undergoing strenuous physical exercises, getting it done early would you of stress and unwanted anxiety.
Typically, a hymenoplasty surgery should not take more than 30 minutes to complete.
No. Hymenoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis. That is, you can leave the same day after a little rest. Hospital stay is not mandatory.
No, nobody can promise you definite bleeding through your reconstructed hymen on your first night. The hymen is an elastic membrane, and at times, it may just stretch and not break in the first intercourse. In others, it may break after some time, while in yet others- not break at all. However, what it can promise is- 100% guarantee of its complete construction and a tight flap life effect on intercourse- which is precisely what you or your partner might be looking for.
No. Hymenoplasty is a surgery focussed only on the reconstruction of the hymen. If you feel you have a loosened vagina, we suggest you go for laser vaginal tightening. It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in 2-3 sessions (depending on your laxity). It is completely scarless and takes only 10-15 minutes per session.
No, hymen repair surgery is performed on the external vaginal area while all the reproductive organs like the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes lie much above it, after the cervix. Since no reproductive organ/ tissue is disturbed through the hymen repair process, it has no negative or positive side effect on a woman’s fertility.

Hymenoplasty is a minimally invasive surgery and many women resume work the very next day. However, medically, it is common for women to experience vaginal discharge, spotting, and a little discomfort in the first 24-48 hours. This is why, if possible, we suggest you take a little break and rest for at least a day or two.
Complete recovery after hymenoplasty takes around 5-6 weeks. Therefore, doctors suggest you wait until 1.5-2 months before your first sexual intercourse after hymenoplasty.
No, medically or otherwise, there is no possible way to distinguish between a natural or surgically recreated hymen. Therefore, it is impossible for your partner to know the same unless informed so.
