Virginity Repair Surgery

These day, virginity repair or restoration surgery, or medically termed as hymenoplasty, becomes quite popular among women. There are many websites on the internet, like revirgination.net, that offer many benefits and ease to this vagina plastic surgery. Many of them come with reasons, such as to make their boyfriend or husband happy with the sexual intercourse they have, and so on. Virginity repair surgery or hymenoplasty (or sometimes called as hymenorrhaphy) today is undergone by women from old to young and from many different countries and rages.

BBC interviews a surgeon that is able to perform hymenoplasty. Dr. Abecassis, the surgeon, recalls that in a week, he could perform two or three hymenoplasties. The patients vary from all kind of social backgrounds, but most of them are young women with age about 23-27. Mostly, their reasons are about the need of virginity before getting married with their boyfriends because virginity becomes an important thing based on their traditions or family cultures. Dr. Abecassis admits that he never judges whether certain patient really has to undergo the surgery or not; he just does his task. For the record, Dr. Abecassis is one of very few Arab surgeons who want to talk openly about it.

For Dr. Abecassis, vagina repair surgery is both a mere medical plastic surgery and a taboo reinforcement. But for his patients, hymenoplasty is surely the only option—that makes them happy. Hymenoplasty is proven to be low risk, but still it is quite expensive. The high cost of the surgery sometimes make another non-medical procedure become an interesting alternative. BBC reported that there is a website that markets Chinese-made artificial hymens for only £20 or about 23 euors. It is created with elastic plastic and filled with fake blood, so once it it inserted in the vaginas, after the first penetration the woman can drip blood out of her vagina just to simulate virginity. The problem with this is that many married couple will agree the wrong definition about hymen and virginity—that somehow, torn hymen is not always caused by sexual penetration premarriage.

This is proven in an interview to a young man, who admitted that although the society accepts that virginity is not in tact in making decision before marriage, he refused to marry such a woman with lack of virginity.

A website called NewHymen.dk gives a more arguable explanation about this situation. It suggests that women do not have to feel that hymenoplasty is the only option available to repair their torn hymen. This website was created and run by a woman who admits as “a nurse, a social worker, and a professional educator”. It gives several explanations that are against the old formula and taboo like using chicken livers due to the infection whatsoever. It even suggests the readers to ask for some pill prescription to doctor—or if the readers are currently consuming the pill, it suggests them to plan their period to match the first night after marriage. This is a little bit pragmatic, actually, but it comprehends the gap between the feeling of guilty that women had and the reasonable solution to fight it.

That being said, an alternative—a heart-pleasing alternative—to young women is already available with the presence of these kinds of sites. There is an available solution to deal with their past and heal the wound and fear about family culture or men’s perception. The good thing from these websites is, like in a forum where a member—a young woman—wrote about what she feels about this virginity problem, they provide solution to see that hymenoplasty is not the only choice.
