Only several decades ago hymenorrhaphy (restoration of a hymen), was absolutely inconceivable.
The hymen is a part of a mucous membrane of a vagina which completely or only partially covers an entrance to a vagina. Skin is often broken off after the first sexual intercourse.
Who suits hymenorrhaphy
Hymenorrhaphy suits women who suffer from psychological problems after the undesirable sexual act, rape, sports or accidents with the subsequent damage of a hymen. Which often lead to a low self-assessment or decrease in self-confidence.
The main indications to hymenorrhaphy
There is a set of the factors capable to serve as indications to carrying out hymenorrhaphy. To it carry:
1. Rape.
2. Careless use of a tampon.
3. Hymen trauma during sports activities.
4. Lack of a hymen since the birth.
5. Cultural and religious factor.
Irrespective of the reason, it is possible to restore a hymen sooner or later if it is possible to find residues of fabric of a hymen. But constant hymenorrhaphy is impossible for women who had many sexual intercourses or gave birth to many children.
The main contraindications to hymenorrhaphy
Hymenorrhaphy is carried out under local anesthesia and consists in sewing up of the remains of a natural hymen which is located on vagina walls.
1. Purpura.
2. Periods.
3. Candidiasis.

Hymenorrhaphy cannot be executed neither at women in labor, nor at the patients having diabetes, any vaginal infection or cancer. Though there are no complications after the procedure. Hymenorrhaphy is usually carried out not later than in five days before there comes the next menstruatsionny period. But at first the doctor carefully examines the patient and channelizes on analyses to be convinced that there are no contraindications on operation.
