Always Keep the Communication Lines Open with Your OBGYN

As an adult, I have always visited my OBGYN on a regular basis for pap smears and other important health screenings. I thought I was doing "everything right," to take care of my female health, but unfortunately, I began having re-occurring yeast infections. I kept trying home treatment after home treatment and while some worked temporarily, my infections always came back. I finally got fed up and made an extra appointment with my OBGYN and she provided me treatment that kept the infections away for good and taught me how some of my habits were contributing to my chronic infections. I decided to start a blog to share my story along with tips about female health that I have learned over the years. I think more women need to share their female health experiences, because we all have them from time to time!

Consider A Hymen Repair In These Situations

A cosmetic gynecologist can perform a number of procedures that can change the appearance of your genital region, but they can also deal with a part of your anatomy that is not commonly visible. Many cosmetic gynecology clinics offer a procedure called hymen repair; sometimes, you'll also see this procedure referred to as a hymenoplasty. As its name indicates, a hymen repair procedure involves repairing a torn hymen. This is something that may be of interest to you for several different reasons. Here are some situations in which you may wish to book a consultation to learn more about hymen repair.

Religious

For many people, a hymen breaks during sexual intercourse. There are certain religious groups that place significant value on the hymen being intact at the time of marriage. If you've previously been sexually active, but have recently joined a religious group that has this mindset and are planning to get married, you and your future spouse may feel that having your hymen intact when you get married is important to you both. This is a common reason to consider a hymen repair procedure at a local cosmetic gynecology clinic.

Injury

Hymens do not solely break as a result of sexual activity. For some people, it's possible to suffer a broken hymen during a number of activities that are not sexual in nature. Some athletes, including gymnasts, can sometimes experience a tear in this part of their body as a result of the stretching and movement that occur during athletic pursuits. If you've learned that you've broken your hymen during a sport or other activity, and you haven't yet been sexually active, you might wish to have this part of your vagina once again intact. With hymen repair, this is possible.

Trauma

Unfortunately, some people suffer damage to their hymen as a result of sexual trauma — including events that happen at an early age. If you find yourself in this difficult position, you may be exploring various ways to heal. While emotional healing can be possible through therapy, you may feel that a hymen repair procedure is a good way to heal physically. Going through this procedure may help you to feel more ownership over your body, which could be a feeling that you lost as a result of the trauma you endured. If one of these situations applies to you and you're interested in hymen repair, learn more by contacting a cosmetic gynecology clinic.
