Permanent Hymen Repair in Antalya: Trust, Confidentiality, and Expertise
Women’s health and aesthetics are not only physical matters but also psychological and sociocultural wholes. Sometimes due to personal choices and sometimes because of social reasons, women may need hymen repair (hymenoplasty). In this sensitive process, the most important factors are trust in the physician, the success of the procedure, and absolute confidentiality.
At Dr. Ediz Karataş’s clinic in Antalya, we perform permanent hymen repair procedures using the most reliable methods offered by modern medicine, while paying the highest level of attention to our patients’ privacy and confidentiality.
What Is Permanent Hymen Repair (Hymenoplasty)?
In medical literature, hymen repair—referred to as “hymenoplasty”—is a surgical procedure in which the tissue located at the entrance of the vagina (the hymen) is surgically repaired or reconstructed.
Hymen repair is divided into two types based on its purpose and timing: temporary and permanent.
As its name suggests, permanent hymen repair is a method that maintains its permanence until the first sexual intercourse, regardless of how much time passes after the procedure. This procedure is an ideal solution for women who do not have near-term marriage plans but do not wish to have concerns about this issue in the future.
The Flap Technique: The Gold Standard of Permanent Repair
In permanent hymenoplasty, the most commonly used technique with the highest success rate is the flap technique. In this method, the torn tissue fragments are not simply stitched together; instead, a new hymen structure is created using living tissue flaps taken from the vaginal wall.
Use of Living Tissue: Since your own tissue is used, there is no risk of rejection by the body, and healing occurs in a healthy and natural way.
No Time Limitation: Even months or years after the procedure, bleeding during the first intercourse (virginity bleeding) is aimed for.
Natural Appearance: Once healing is complete, it is not noticeable from the outside that a procedure has been performed, except to a trained professional eye.
How Does the Permanent Hymen Repair Process Work in Antalya?
As Dr. Ediz Karataş, we manage the process in a transparent and reassuring manner with every patient who applies to our clinic in Antalya.
1. Preliminary Consultation and Examination:
The first step is a detailed consultation conducted within strict confidentiality. Your expectations are carefully listened to, the current condition is evaluated through a gynecological examination, and the most suitable method for you (permanent or temporary) is determined. For patients traveling from outside Antalya, online pre-consultation options are also available.
2. Procedure Day:
Permanent hymen repair is usually performed under local anesthesia (regional numbing) or mild sedation (a light sleep state). The procedure takes approximately 30–45 minutes. The patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the operation.
3. Post-Procedure and Recovery:
Shortly after the procedure, the patient is discharged and can return to daily life the same day. The recovery period lasts approximately 4–6 weeks. During this time, all necessary precautions (such as hygiene and avoiding heavy physical activities) are explained in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is permanent hymen repair noticeable?
After the healing process is complete (approximately 1–2 months), the procedure is generally not noticeable to a partner or during a routine gynecological examination. However, a physician who specializes in this field may be able to recognize it upon detailed examination.
Will I feel pain during the procedure?
No. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, you will not feel any pain or discomfort.
Is bleeding guaranteed?
In medicine, the term “100% guarantee” is never used for any procedure. However, when permanent repair is performed by experienced hands using the correct technique (the flap method), the success rate and the likelihood of bleeding during the first intercourse are over 95%.
How is confidentiality ensured?
At our clinic, patient privacy is our red line. Your personal information, procedure details, and medical records are strictly confidential and are never shared with third parties. The recording of such sensitive procedures in systems like e-Nabız is managed in accordance with the patient’s request.
