Hymenoplasty by expert Dr.Niveditha Kamaraj
What is hymenoplasty?
Hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure that has gained attention for its role in reconstructing or repairing the hymen, a thin membrane located at the entrance of the vagina. Often surrounded by cultural and societal significance, the hymen has been historically associated with notions of virginity. Hymenoplasty is sought by individuals for various reasons, including cultural and religious beliefs, personal choices, or societal expectations. The procedure involves the reconstruction of the hymen, either by stitching together existing tissue or using vaginal wall tissue to create a structure resembling the hymen.
