Your First time Again ? The Hymenoplasty Procedure

Posted by Diego on December 14th, 2015

For several hundred years, a woman’s hymen was considered a symbol of her virginity. We know today that the hymen can be torn because of several different things, including rough sports, gymnastics, and even dancing. However, it’s still considered a symbol of virginity and virginity is prized in several cultures all over the world.

In some cultures, a woman’s virginity is essential for a marriage to go through. In Middle Eastern countries, for example, sexual activities before marriage are strongly discouraged and the lack of virginity can be a reason for dissolution of a new marriage.

At Dr. Sorkin Center for Women’s Health, we have cosmetic gynecology experts that can perform hymenoplasty in Brooklyn, NY and restore the hymen. That way you don’t have to worry about any social stigma or unpleasant repercussions.

What is Hymenoplasty?

The hymen is a thin membrane of tissue inside the vagina. This membrane has a small opening in the middle that’s usually circular. This is a very fragile membrane and can be broken during sexual intercourse, heavy activity like gymnastics, cycling, sports, etc. The hymen doesn’t always break during sexual intercourse. The membrane can stretch and expand. However, if you have had intercourse, it’s highly likely that the membrane is broken.

Hymenoplasty in Brooklyn is essentially a procedure that would restore the broken hymen to its original diameter. The procedure to restore the hymenal ring is very delicate and it’s not uncommon for doctors to use radiofrequency or laser technologies to get the best tissue regeneration possible.

After this procedure, it’s very likely that you’ll experience faint bleeding during the first intercourse, which is considered the proof of virginity by most cultures.
