Patient's question:
When I was young, I did some wrong things because I didn't understand. Now I've met a new boyfriend, and we are doing well, but I'm afraid that after he finds out I'm not a virgin, it will create a gap between us. I saw online that there is a hymen repair surgery that can be "fake it till you make it." I want to ask the doctor if that's true.Doctor's answer:
A mucous membrane covers the female vaginal opening, containing blood vessels and nerves. At the center of the membrane, there is a small hole, which is the hymen. After sexual intercourse, the hymen typically tears or peels. After hymenoplasty surgery, it takes one to three months to fully recover to its original state. It is important to note that post-surgery, oral anti-inflammatory medication is usually prescribed to prevent infection. Within the first week after surgery, it is advisable to minimize physical activity and avoid riding a bicycle. Additionally, avoid strenuous exercise for the first month after the surgery.
