A second hymen (virginal membrane) is, above all, for women in Arabic or Southern European countries of significance for religious or social reasons. This has got to do with not disgracing one's family on the wedding night. Everything should look as though "nothing has happened previously".

The individual can decide whether the procedure is to be conducted under local anaesthetic or seminarcosis. The virginal membrane is reconstructed using tissue. For this purpose, we use a kind of laser scalpel. Anaesthetising is carried out either by injection (local anaesthetic) or in a state of seminarcosis.

Before the procedure
No special preparation is required. As in the case of any procedure, one should refrain for at least 14 days beforehand from taking any medication which might influence haemodilution.

Following the procedure
It is not necessary to remain in the clinic on an in-patient basis. Following the procedure, you can remain with us until you have recovered and return home or to your hotel afterwards. We check the wound and change the bandage on the day after the procedure.
