When a virgin has sexual intercourse for the first time, the male penis penetrates the woman’s vagina, often breaking the hymen and forming a fissure. The fissure of the hymen is often multiple, extending radially from the center to the periphery, and because the male penis enters in a downward direction, the fissure is deeper on both sides of the vaginal opening, up to the base, and is called a complete rupture.
Sometimes the vaginal wall can also be ruptured due to excessive force of the male partner during sexual intercourse.
In women who have given birth, the fetus is delivered vaginally, causing the hymen to break down further to the point where it is mutilated everywhere, sometimes leaving only a few remaining protrusions, called hymenal scars. If the baby is delivered by cesarean section, the hymen remains in the same shape as it was after the marriage because the baby is delivered through the incision in the lower abdomen and not through the vagina.
The relationship between the hymen and virginity
Some people believe that a woman’s hymen rupture means that she is no longer a virgin, but this is not true. There are women whose hymens are intact but are no longer virgins, and there are women who are indeed true virgins and whose hymens have ruptured. Because some virgins have a large hymen hole, good elasticity, less blood vessels in the membrane, plus the male partner is more gentle and not rough during sexual intercourse, the hymen can not rupture after multiple sexual intercourse; on the contrary, some virgins, due to some accidents, so that the hymen rupture, such as the ignorance of women in childhood, the small toy into the vagina, some encounter trauma, or sharp objects happen to be against the vulva, some due to masturbation, washing or vaginal plugging drugs caused There are also cases where the hymen is already fragile and can be ruptured when engaging in strenuous exercise. Therefore, it is absurd to identify virginity based on whether or not the hymen is broken.
The hymen has always been a symbol of purity for young girls, and in China, where the concept is more traditional, it is the “golden rule”. This is not only because most men want their new wives to be “virgins”, but also because the “prejudices” of a patriarchal society have elevated it to the lofty status of the family and its own dignity, so the accidental rupture and repair of the hymen is particularly dramatic and significant. The accidental rupture of the hymen and its restoration are of great importance and significance. For women with accidental hymen rupture, repairing the hymen can not only compensate for the physical “trauma” of the woman, but also reduce her psychological burden, which is crucial for the harmony of the couple’s sexual life and family happiness.

Now there are a considerable number of men with deep-rooted ideas, has always believed that the hymen is intact, the wedding night red is virgin, showing the woman’s purity and flawless, if no red after intercourse, it is a sign of their female premarital unchastity, etc.. Therefore, no matter if the hymen is broken due to sexual intercourse or accident, as long as there is a need for surgery, hymen repair can be done.
Hymenoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure to restore or recreate a new hymen that has been damaged.
Hymenoplasty is not very complicated and can usually be done on an outpatient basis. Different procedures are available depending on the severity of the hymen breakage. The procedure usually takes only 30 minutes and usually involves disinfecting the vulva and vaginal opening with 0.1% Neosporin, using 1% lidocaine local infiltration anesthesia, using small ophthalmic scissors to cut out a neat margin of the ruptured hymen, and then suturing with nylon thread so that only a small finger hole is left in the hymen, applying a small amount of antibiotic ointment after surgery, and washing the vulva with 0.1% Neosporin daily to prevent infection. The stitches do not need to be removed after surgery.
For hymen rupture with more sexual intercourse, the surgery is a little more complicated, sometimes requiring a mucosal flap on the side or both sides of the vaginal opening to narrow the opening. Regardless of the method, the patient is basically painless during the surgery and the surgically reconstructed hymen is usually restored to its original state after 20-30 days.
The plastic surgeon will choose the right procedure for you depending on the situation. Because the hymen tissue is relatively thin and the scar after a particular tear does not easily grow and heal, traditional hymen repair often fails to meet the patient’s ideal requirements. After several years of research and study, our doctors have further improved and strengthened the traditional method by innovating the staggered, overlapping, and reinforced tile method to repair the hymen, filling the gap where the shattered hymen could not be repaired, combining traditional gynecological medicine and advanced cosmetic technology in an organic way, truly restoring your virginity.
