At Top Ihilov, hymenoplasty and many other gynecoplastic surgeries are performed by leading doctors:

Hymenoplasty (restoration of virginity) is divided into three types:

  1. Short-term. If a woman needs to restore the hymen for a short period, the procedure is performed by stitching the edges of the damaged hymen or forming a new hymen from a section of the vagina. There is no need to fear acute pain during a future rupture; the sensations are completely natural for both women and men.
  2. Long-term. A three-layer hymenoplasty is performed through surgical intervention. During the operation, a new hymen is formed from the mucosa of the vaginal vestibule. The result of the operation is a new hymen that lasts for many years. Any subsequent disruption of the hymen occurs with normal sensations.
  3. Plastic with artificial material. If reconstruction of the hymen based on the patient's tissues is not possible, alloplastic hymenoplasty is performed. The implant is made from high-quality synthetic material, which is physically similar to natural hymen tissue.

Hymenoplasty at the Top Ihilov Medical Center is performed under local anesthesia, and patients can leave the department an hour after the operation. The operation itself takes from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the volume and complexity.

Before the surgical intervention, patients undergo a traditional examination:

  • laboratory blood tests
  • ECG
  • gynecological examination (during the examination, a smear for flora and a scraping for cytological examination are taken).

In the presence of concomitant pathologies, profile examinations are indicated.

For a period of up to two weeks after the restoration of the hymen, it is recommended to avoid physical exertion, hot baths, and sports activities.

The specialists at Top Ihilov understand that hymenoplasty is a delicate operation for patients, so it is important to emphasize: the gynecologists at the center are very tactful specialists; you will not feel awkward, and you will not be asked any "unpleasant" questions. If desired, complete confidentiality will be maintained. Your health and psychological state are what the specialists at Top Ihilov Medical Center work for, and they will do everything possible to ensure you feel good.
