The surgery

A hymenotomy is a minor medical procedure involving the surgical removal or opening of the hymen. It is done to treat imperforate hymen or other situations where the hymen is unusually thick or rigid. In the case of a person who has a hymen which has no opening, an opening may be created in order to facilitate menstruation. In situations where the opening is small, the individual may elect for hymenotomy to allow for sexual penetration of their vagina. The procedure can be done as an office procedure under local anesthesia.

Complications and risks

Every surgery carries the possibilities of complications. The risks from hymenotomy are similar to those from other operations: allergic reactions to anaesthesia, bleeding, infection, scarring, swelling, and bruising. Risks associated with hymenotomy include changes in sensation, changes in pigmentation, or asymmetry.

You can avoid most complications by choosing the right surgeon and following pre- and postoperative instructions.
