"Hymenoplasty, a medical procedure that has sparked controversy recently, is a sort of "re-virginization" that is mostly in countries in the Middle East and Latin America. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, concerned about how this procedure is being marketed, has voiced its concern and its questionable ethical repercussions. Although the group has not taken a stand, the concern is that in an effort to improve sex lives, surgeons will not be able to educate their patients thoroughly due to the lack of literature available."

Hello Anonymous,

The hymen is a porous membrane that can be perforated during sexual intercourse, inserting a tampon or vigorous exercise. Once it is perforated, it cannot be repaired. I am sorry to hear that you encountered a tragic experience.
