Patient's question:
Can regular hospitals perform hymen repair surgery?How long does the surgery take, and does it cause damage to the vagina or other areas?
Also, what is the approximate price?
Doctor's answer:
Vaginal hymen repair is best done at a regular hospital. The plastic surgery for hymen reconstruction generally takes about 30 minutes. Typically, the external genital area and vaginal opening are disinfected with 0.1% New Jelldine, and 1% lidocaine is used for local infiltration anesthesia. An ophthalmic small scissors is used to trim the edges of the ruptured hymen into neat incisions. Then, nylon thread is used to suture the edges meticulously, leaving only a small hole for a finger to pass through. A small amount of antibiotic ointment is applied after the surgery. Postoperatively, 0.1% New Jelldine solution is used to clean the external genital area daily to prevent infection, and stitches are usually removed after five days.
