Will I Bleed During First Intercourse With Intact Hymen?
Hi,
I had a woman health doctor (gynecologist) examined me yesterday. I asked her to examine my virginity status as I did a hymen repair surgery four months ago. The doctor said that everything is "intact".. Does that mean that my hymen is repaired to the virgin-like status and I'm virgin again? Does it also mean that I will bleed with the first intercourse?
I did hymenoplasty 4 months ago with absorbable sutures surgery. Today I saw a new doctor. She checked my hymen with her finger; she said that the surgery was successful, but the hymen open. She explained that doctors do the hymen as + sign so they let it open, and there will be NO bleeding at the first intercourse. Is that correct? if yes, then why they call it virgin-like status? I did it to be virgin-like again and to have bleeding for cultural reasons. please advise. Thanks

Hi,
Hymenoplasty is a procedure during which torn hymen will be repaired or new hymen will be built.
This will not restore the virginity, but can allow tearing and bleeding of the hymen during first intercourse after surgery.
So, here the points to be considered are:
-After repair by giving the + shaped opening, the menstrual flow and other secretions can come out.
If there is no opening that can lead to the collection of secretions within the uterus, which can lead to complications.
-The hymen should be stretched to around two finger breadths during intercourse. And also it contains rich blood supply. Because of these two factors there is a possibility of bleeding during first intercourse after surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
