Busting Myths About Hymenoplasty: What You Should Know?

 In today's modern society, discussions about female reproductive health and related cosmetic procedures are no surprising element – it is the need of the hour. One such procedure that has become the talk of the town is hymenoplasty. Hymenoplasty, hymen repair surgery, involves surgical restoration of the hymen, a thin elastic tissue present at the entrance of the vagina. 

Hymenoplasty is often cited as one of the most misunderstood medical procedures in the twenty-first century. Society's conservative perspective on female sexuality is one of the prime reasons for such misunderstanding. Therefore, it is essential to quash these myths. The blog intends to provide balanced and factual information on hymenoplasty. 

With this blog, Dr. Deepti Asthana, a renowned hymenoplasty surgeon in Gurgaon, will debunk some common myths associated with hymenoplasty and help you make informed decisions. 

Myth #1: Hymenoplasty does not retain virginity

The conservative belief that a woman's sexual experience can be determined by the presence or absence of a hymen has led a high number of women to seek hymen-repair surgery before marriage.

Reality  –  The hymen repair surgery is also known as re virginity surgery. As described earlier, this is a medical procedure to reconstruct the hymen.

Virginity is a concept that traditionally refers to someone who has not engaged in any form of penetrative sexual activity. The state of the hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity, as it can be altered due to various non-sexual activities such as sports, tampon use, or simply anatomical differences. 

In various cases, some females are born without a hymen and remain virgins until they engage in sexual activity. Thus, it is evident that the physical state of the hymen does not determine virginity. 

Myth #2 Hymenoplasty surgery is Unsafe and Causes discomfort

Reality  – Many patients assume the surgery is painful as performed in an intimate zone. However, this claim is untrue because the procedure is conducted by Dr Deepti, a qualified and experienced hymenoplasty surgeon in Gurgaon. Before performing the surgery, she administers a local anesthetic to numb the area being operated on to ensure the patient does not feel discomfort during the procedure, if the surgery is being done under local anaesthesia

After the surgery, most women can go back to their regular activities within a day or two after the procedure, as the recovery period is short. The surgery is typically not painful, and any discomfort can be alleviated with prescribed medications.

Myth #3 Hymenoplasty Impacts Menstrual Cycles

Reality  – One of the common concerns after hymenoplasty surgery is it impacts the menstrual cycle. However, your menstrual cycle is not affected by Hymenoplasty surgery, as it is a superficial procedure that does not involve the entire vagina. The delay of menstruation is determined by various other factors unrelated to the hymen or vagina.

Myth #4 Hymenoplasty Invites Urinary Tract Infections

Reality  – Contrary to popular belief, hymen and urination have no relation. However, post hymenoplasty, one can get a few side effects, including UTI, but it differs for different persons. The urinal infection can be caused by insufficient fluid intake post-hymenoplasty or not cleaning the intimate area. Therefore, the best advice is to visit your doctor to avoid possible infections and get the proper treatment and medications.

Myth #5 Hymenoplasty Surgery is out of budget

Reality – Unlike other cosmetic surgeries, hymen repair surgery is affordable and budget-friendly. The cost of hymenoplasty varies depending on the location, surgeon, and individual case. However, it is not as expensive as many people believe.
