Hymenoplasty Surgery in Mumbai

Hymen has elastic properties but some women may have a non-elastic hymen that can easily be torn apart. Usually, the hymen is pulled apart because of:

• First time during sexual intercourse
• Strenuous activities like cycling, horse riding, and gymnastics
• Falls or trauma to the vaginal area
• Insertion of tampons
• Medical examinations can lead to its breakage.

• Before scheduling the procedure, the patient must get some blood tests done.
• It must be done after the menses are over.

The overall procedure starting from the initial consultation is kept confidential and private for the patient.

Preparatory steps to follow prior to surgery

• At least 2 hours before the scheduled time of surgery, the patient must have their bladder empty.
• Do not smoke at least for a week before the procedure.
• If the current medications can increase the risk of complications or interfere with healing, then discuss with the surgeon and adjust them accordingly.
• Avoid the intake of blood thinners as these can increase the risk of bleeding during the surgery.
• Stop consumption of alcoholic beverages couple of weeks before the surgery as it can hamper the effects of medicines.

Hymenoplasty surgery is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. This is a fairly quick surgery that lasts anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours while the patient lies unconscious.

During this surgery, hymenoplasty specialist in Mumbai, Juhu, Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi either repairs a recently broken hymen by gently and neatly cutting its edges followed by the stitching of the torn pieces together to allow it to reform and heal or build a new hymen using a piece of vaginal tissue for a complete cosmetic revirginization. This surgery mends the hymenal ring to a normal shape and size.

Dr. Chaitali performs the procedure with extreme precision and makes use of dissolvable stitches to avoid damaging surrounding tissue. As a result, the patient gets a natural, elastic, virgin hymen. It feels and reacts the same as the actual hymen and remains intact unless the next sexual activity.

• A hospital stay of around 5 to 6 hours is required.
• It is normal to experience some degree of spotting which usually resolves within 3 days of the surgery.
• Mild discomfort or soreness that may take 1-2 weeks to subside.
• The procedure is associated with minimal downtime and most women resume their work quickly after the surgery (i.e. within 1 to 2 days).
• Full recovery or healing of the hymen takes 4-6 weeks.

After hymenoplasty surgery, the following precautions must be taken at home:

• For relieving pain or discomfort, anti-inflammatory medications or painkillers may be given. The patient may also be prescribed antibiotics. The course of these medications must be completed.
• Do not take shower for 1-2 days after the surgery as it may lead to infection in the genital area. However, the body must be kept clean by taking a sponge bath. After 2 days, the area of the perineum can be gently washed with mild soap and water regularly. Avoid cleaning inside of the vagina.
• Until 2 weeks post-surgery, clean the perineal area with sanitary wipes after passing urine. Keep the surgical wound free of moisture so that it heals faster.
• Avoid lifting heavy weight for 3-4 weeks to encourage proper healing.
• Abstain from sexual intercourse to let the incisions heal fully for at least 6 weeks post-surgery.
• Do not wear tight underwear for at least 2 weeks after the surgery.
• Instead of using tampons, utilize sanitary napkins at least for 6 weeks.
• For 2-3 days take proper rest and avoid too much movement that could disrupt the wounds.
• Do not consume alcoholic beverages and avoid smoking for at least 2 weeks after surgery.
• Avoid stress or tensions for quick recovery.
