GYN Surgeon Dr. Korkut Arslan
Hymen repair can be performed using two different techniques, known as temporary and permanent methods. These two approaches involve significantly different techniques. Temporary hymen repair is done by placing stitches with special threads in the area where the hymen was torn during previous intercourse. Permanent hymen repair, on the other hand, involves creating a new membranous tissue by harvesting tissue from beneath the hymenal area using a special microsurgical method called the flap technique.
The main difference between the two methods is that the temporary repair must be performed 3–4 days before the expected intercourse, while the permanent hymen repair can be done at any time, regardless of when intercourse is anticipated.

Permanent hymen repair is performed by lifting several layers of tissue from the vaginal wall in the hymenal region using a technique called the flap technique. A new vascularized, membrane-like tissue resembling the original hymen is created. The purpose of creating this new tissue is to form a barrier at the entrance, so that during intercourse, it tears and bleeds similarly to a natural hymen.
Temporary hymen repair is done by suturing the remnants of the torn hymen using special threads. The procedure involves:
The hymen can be permanently repaired using a microsurgical method called the flap technique. 'Permanent' means that the newly created vascularized membrane will maintain its function indefinitely, regardless of when intercourse occurs. Even after years, the first intercourse will cause bleeding, just like in a natural hymen.
Hymen repair can be performed at any time the individual wishes. However, it is important to consider the timing of the expected intercourse. If intercourse is planned within a few days, the temporary method is recommended; if the date is uncertain, the permanent method is preferred.
In conclusion, temporary hymen repair should be done 3–4 days before intercourse, whereas permanent repair should ideally be performed about 1 month in advance, considering the healing process.
Both temporary and permanent hymen repair can be performed using laser technology. Laser is used during the procedure for incisions and tissue lifting. Especially for permanent repair, using a laser results in a more comfortable recovery and a shorter healing period.
In societies where virginity holds significant importance, men often cannot accept their partners having had previous sexual experiences. Therefore, in cultures where the hymen is considered a taboo, many brides-to-be choose hymen repair to relieve the societal pressure.
Yes, hymen repair can still be performed after an abortion. Having undergone an abortion does not prevent hymen repair using either the temporary stitching method or the permanent flap technique. A woman who has had an abortion can undergo hymen repair, and just like someone who has never had an abortion, bleeding will occur during the first intercourse after the procedure.
Permanent hymen repair using the flap technique can be performed even after childbirth. Regardless of the number of sexual encounters, whether the delivery was vaginal or cesarean, or whether an abortion was performed, the hymen can be repaired. It can even be done in women who have not had intercourse but have naturally elastic hymenal tissue.
