The concept of female virginity still has a complicated history. Virginity in Indonesian culture itself is still likened to the integrity of a woman's hymen, so many people think that when they have sex for the first time, the vagina is obliged to bleed. In fact, not all women have an intact hymen, either congenital or as a result of an incident. If the hymen is torn, is there a way to repair it? Come see the explanation of the hymen below.
What is the hymen?
The hymen or hymen is a very thin skin tissue that lines the opening of the vagina. It is widely thought that this membrane stretches over the entire vagina. In fact, the shape, texture, and thickness of the hymen vary from woman to woman.
The hymen also functions to allow menstrual blood and other body fluids to flow out through the vaginal canal. In addition, the function of hymen or mucosal layer that surrounds or covers part of the vaginal opening. This lining, like the vaginal mucosa, also contains blood vessels and nerve vessels. Therefore, when the hymen is torn it is often accompanied by bleeding and pain.
Any action that could tighten the torn hymen?
Hymenoplasty
Hymenoplasty or hymen reconstruction surgery is a procedure to re-glue the hymen that is located on the vaginal lips using stitches. The applied stitch is a type of stitch that dissolves or dissolvable, so that it will not be seen in plain view and do not need to be removed after surgery.
The remaining hymen will be tied together to cover up the damage done to the torn hymen. Then the hymen tissue will be lifted, so that the vagina will be coated again with hymen. So the hymen will be injured first, then sewn back. The reunification of the mucosal layer of the hymen is carried out by a thin thread which is absorbed by the body. Sometimes it takes tissue removal from the outside of the vagina to rebuild the hymen.
This procedure to restore the torn hymen only reconnects the torn hymen, so it should not interfere with the function of the organ. However, as an invasive form of procedure, the hymenoplasty procedure still carries a risk of complications, such as pain, bleeding, scarring, and infection. This tearing hymen surgery is a minor operation, which can be done under local anesthesia, and only takes about 25-45 minutes without hospitalization. Meanwhile, the recovery time after surgery is around 4-5 weeks.
However, in cultures that prioritize the importance of virginity, where virginity is defined as a condition where hymen is still intact, this procedure is a controversial procedure.
Alloplant
This action to close the torn hymen is done when the Hymen layer can no longer be repaired, because the damage that has been done is very severe or has even completely disappeared because of that, an artificial hymen is installed. An incision made from biometry will be inserted and will become the hymen again.
This hymen implant is also a simple procedure, performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, to determine which operation will be performed, the doctor will conduct an examination of the patient's condition first to find out the damage. After the examination was carried out followed by examination of blood clots and physical condition for two weeks before the operation.
