Brief Answer:
Its most likely to bleed

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Ms,

Its a very well done hymenoplasty.
The aperture is very small enough, most likely admitting tip of index finger. Attempt at penetration or penetration is likely to cause tear in it and most likely to bleed. If there is any issue , before the penetration you can have your husband look for hymen.

Wishing you a very happy married life.
Do write to me directly anytime you need any assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Best Regards
Deepak

Really dr? Should i stay confident? or should i do my first intercourse with my period so that i get blood? There is a hole will it tear? If i go to a genogologist will she or he know if iam a virgin or no? There are some sutures will my husband feel them?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Deepak Kishore Kaltari (6 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
It looks like a normal virgin opening

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

Being an expert in Surgical procedure, from visual inspection I could not make out any sutures or see them. Also the opening looked like normal virgin opening.
So its unlikely that your husband can make out any difference: It looks very much like a virgin opening.

If one specifically tries to feel the suture(that too an expert) can only make out the difference.
Also let me inform you, not all virgins bleed. In some cases the hymen may be very much elastic , it will stretch instead of just tearing.
When did your hymen rupture first ? was there any bleeding at that time?

Just be confident. I wish both of you a very happy married life.

Take Care

Best regards
Deepak

My first time was 4 years ago and yes there was a fair amount of bleeding but no pain, dr if i go to a geonoglogist will she or he tell me that i will be fine too? Or they might disagree?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Deepak Kishore Kaltari (7 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Clinical examination will be reassuring

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms
Clinical examination by gynecologist may also give additional information and will be very reassuring. Even if you consult a Gynaecologist, in rare case they disagree : what difference should it make to you? It is after all a personal issue between you and your husband. I am of the opinion that your husband will not suspect your virginity from appearance. Let him have a look during foreplay before penetration.
My personal suggestion would be , be confident, let the nature take care of it. Its very much likely you will bleed. Virginity should not be given so much importance, dedication and faithfulness after marriage is all that is required.
Prepare for the D day. Be relaxed. Any issues write to me directly anytime.

Wishing you a very happy and prosperous life ahead.

Take care

Thankyou dr ,
I will visit the geonogologist today, and i hope she says the same thing, i feel that the opening is big and one finger can enter is it normal?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Deepak Kishore Kaltari (33 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
All the best

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Ms,

During intercourse because of force and thrust, there is rupture of hymen and bleeding occurs due it. Penis is always bigger than finger and will likely result in rupture.
Nice to know that you are visiting gynecologist. Kindly let me know his/her opinion after detailed examination.

Take care

Best Regards
Deepak

Iam at the genogoligyist now, dr should i tell her that i did the hymoplasty or just ask her to check if iam a virgin or no?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Deepak Kishore Kaltari (3 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Do not reveal it initially

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Ms

First let her examine unbiased, later you can discuss with her and reveal that you had undergone hymenoplasty. When an expert cannot find out the difference, its unlikely your husband will find out.

Do keep me updated and be in touch.

Take Care
