The hymen, medically known as ‘hymen’, is a thin layer of tissue at the entrance of the vagina. It may have a different shape and structure in every woman; in some women, it may be congenitally missing or may become flexible over time. Although the hymen is a structure with various cultural and social meanings, it does not have any functional importance from a medical point of view. It is generally believed to be torn during the first sexual intercourse, but it can also be damaged by sports, tampon use or other reasons.
Hymen repair surgery in Turkey is a surgical procedure called hymenoplasty. This operation aims to rebuild or restore the hymen. Hymenoplasty is a procedure that is usually preferred due to cultural, religious or social pressures. This operation, which has no medical necessity, is performed completely at the request of the person herself
1.Temporary Repair: This method offers a short-term solution and is usually applied before an expected sexual intercourse within a few days or weeks.
2. Permanent Repair: This method provides a longer-term solution and aims to permanently rebuild the hymen

It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks for sexual intercourse.
The success rate of the operation is high, but the results may vary depending on the individual’s body structure and the healing process.
Hymen repair is a surgical procedure preferred for personal, cultural or social reasons rather than a medical necessity. People who are considering this operation should have a detailed consultation with the surgeon.
