Dr. Alinsod:
So many women come to me, mostly from Middle Eastern families and some from Oriental families and also Hispanic families, they come and request that their hymen be repaired. So it’s a 30- to 60-minute procedure where we are able to approximate the hymenal remnants and with fine sutures put them back together.
It’s a seasonal thing. I get more of these requests in the spring before summer comes. A lot of people get married in the summer, and so my patients come in the spring. I do their surgeries by the summer. They are ready to go to let’s say Syria or Lebanon and meet their arranged husband to be, get married, and hopefully they bleed during their wedding night.
