In the traditional consciousness of most people, the hymen is a symbol of purity. In real life, since puppy love is very common, people’s concept of the hymen has also changed. There are many reasons for this. Women who have lost their hymen due to various reasons will consider hymen repair surgery. This is also a popular gynecological plastic surgery. So is hymen repair surgery dangerous?

1. Is the surgery dangerous?

According to experts, the answer to this question is no. There is no harm in hymen repair. As long as you pay attention to surgical hygiene and choose a regular hospital, it will not cause harm to women's bodies.

If you want hymen repair to cause no harm to the body, you must perform anti-inflammatory treatment on your female private parts before performing hymen repair surgery. You can use iodophor disinfectant to clean women's private parts to help us remove bacteria from women's private parts. Otherwise, it is very easy to have symptoms of genital infection during surgery. At the same time, hymen repair surgery also requires oral administration of metronidazole for three days, which can help us better improve the success rate of the surgery. However, always ask your doctor when taking medications.

Many people think that the hymen indicates whether a female friend is a virgin, which is one-sided. For many female friends, activities such as skipping rope or cycling may cause our own hymen to rupture, so we should not judge whether a woman is a virgin based on the presence of a hymen.

2. Hymen repair surgery

In recent years, the name of the professional surgery "hymen repair" has frequently appeared in media advertisements, and has even become the focus of speculation by merchants or unscrupulous medical institutions. They claim "It doesn't matter if you're not a virgin, it's very convenient to have someone artificially created." Some eager women blindly believe in the "100% successful" promises of advertisements and accept the surgery rashly, resulting in personal and financial losses. In fact, the overall healing rate after hymen repair is less than 50%, which means that almost half of the women require a second operation or even cannot repair the hymen.

The key to successful hymen repair

(1) Regular hospital examination

(2) Correct timing of surgery

(3) Careful postoperative care

(4) Close postoperative follow-up

The hymen is a membrane of different thicknesses surrounding the female private part. It has a fragile structure, poor blood supply, and can rupture. It will not heal on its own. Healing after surgical repair is more difficult than that of other organs, and the current results are by no means as optimistic as some advertisements suggest. There are many factors that influence the success of hymen repair.

3. Is it suitable for surgery?

The hymen is torn during the first intercourse. The tears can be scattered in many places, most of them are located in the back half of the hymen, and the torn edges are very small. Almost scarring. Thereafter, the hymen becomes a number of segmented tissues, shaped like petals. The purpose of the operation is to sew the edges of these "petals" to form a complete annular membrane.

According to the shape of the hymen after rupture, we divide it into three types: cleft type, accounting for 10%; segmented type, accounting for 70%; chrysanthemum petal type, accounting for 20%. Generally speaking, after repair, the healing rate of cleft type is 100%, the healing rate of block type is 49%, the healing rate of chrysanthemum type is only 17%, and the total healing rate is about 46.7%.

It can be seen that the success rate of the operation is closely related to the structural characteristics of the hymen itself. The cleft type has the best effect, followed by the segmented type. For patients with the chrysanthemum petal type, we often advise them to give up surgery to avoid further physical and mental trauma. If such women strongly request surgery, they must be mentally prepared for failure of the surgery.

4. Did you choose the right time for surgery?

Choosing the right time for surgery is also the key to improving the success rate of repairing ruptured hymen. Due to the special position of the hymen, it cannot be tightly bandaged after surgery, and the wound is directly exposed to the leucorrhea. The quality of the leucorrhea will seriously affect the healing of the wound. Therefore, the date of surgery should be chosen in the second or fourth week of the menstrual cycle. At this time, the amount of leucorrhea is small and thick, which can keep the wound relatively dry and improve the healing rate. In the third week of the menstrual cycle, the leucorrhea is thin and abundant. If the surgery is performed during this period, the postoperative wound will be soaked in leucorrhea, making it difficult to heal.

So, women seeking surgery should not be greedy for convenience, and should not go to illegal places to receive hymen repair surgery without waiting, "just come in". They must go to a regular hospital to receive detailed diagnosis and treatment, and provide an accurate menstrual history. Work with your doctor to choose the right time for surgery.
