Hymenoplasty is surgery to repair a broken hymen and restore a woman’s virginity. The hymen is a ring of skin located in the vagina. The surgeon uses stitches to sew the edges of the hymen together. If there is not enough skin to sew together, the surgeon will use skin from the vaginal wall or synthetic skin to form the new hymen. The skin heals and there will be an intact hymen in the vagina. This hymen looks like it did prior to the procedure and will bleed on intercourse. A hymenoplasty can be done at the same time as other vaginal procedures including vaginal rejuvenation.
