What is hymenoplasty?

The most common hymenoplasty technique in Tunisia is the repair of the posterior hymen, which also includes a slight narrowing and tightening of the vagina and vestibule.

The delicate formation of granulation tissue in the vestibule facilitates bleeding during initial penetration.

Before we recommend that you undergo this procedure, you will have an initial consultation with your doctor. During this consultation, we will also assess you by carrying out an internal examination. You will be given a detailed questionnaire to complete. Once we have identified your problem, your expectations and carried out an objective assessment, we will recommend the procedure best suited to your needs. This may sometimes involve a combination of procedures. Women tend to undergo vaginal shrinkage surgery during the revirginisation procedure. Laser vaginal rejuvenation and/or surgical vaginal tightening can be performed at the same time as hymenoplasty in Tunisia.

Technique of hymenoplasty

It is generally performed under local anaesthetic and/or sedation. A triangular incision is made with the base in the vulvar vestibule and the apex in the post-vaginal wall.
The repair begins from the apex, down to the hymenal caruncles.
After reaching the caruncles, the hymenal tissue is sutured side by side, posterior to posterior, superior to superior, ventral to ventral using 4/0 absorbable sutures (Vicryl, monocryl).

The average operating time is 20 minutes. It also allows vestibular narrowing, a factor that facilitates bleeding during the first sexual intercourse.

Slight bleeding and pain are normal after the operation. You will be given antibiotics for 5 days and an analgesic (Paracetamol, neurofen). You should avoid heavy sports and lifting for 1 month. You will have a follow-up on the second day, after 1 week and at 1 month.
