Gynaecology

Hymenotomy

(hymenectomy)

This is a minor surgical procedure in which the hymen is removed or torn/disturbed. This membrane partially covers the vaginal entrance and varies in shape and thickness. If it covers the entire vaginal opening or is unusually thick or rigid (a non-perforated hymen), it can cause severe pain during intercourse and menstrual bleeding.

Diagnosis

A hymenotomy is an effective solution for women who suffer from these problems associated with the hymen. The aim of this relatively simple procedure is to allow normal menstrual blood to drain or to improve the woman's sex life (or both), resulting in a significant improvement in quality of life.

Surgery

Based on the surgeon's assessment of the specific case, either a small incision is made using surgical instruments or part of the hymenal tissue is removed. The surgeon ensures precision and minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes.

How One-Day Surgery Works

1. Consultation with a Surgeon
Your first step is a consultation with one of our specialists. The doctor will assess your health condition, explain the procedure in detail, and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.

2. Pre-Operative Preparation
Before the procedure, you will undergo the necessary examinations and receive clear instructions on how to prepare for surgery.

3. Day of Surgery
You will arrive at the clinic at a pre-arranged time. After the necessary preparation, the surgical procedure itself will take place.

4. Short Post-Operative Monitoring
Following the procedure, you will remain for a short period in the recovery room under the supervision of our medical staff.

5. Return Home
In most cases, patients are able to return home on the same day. Recovery then continues in the comfort of the home environment.

More information on the procedure

Anaesthesia

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, in some cases under general anaesthesia.

Duration of bed rest and incapacity for work

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and the patient can leave the clinic after resting for a while. Mild pain or discomfort can usually be relieved with common analgesics.

Follow-up care/treatment

The recovery period is not long, with healing usually complete within two weeks after the procedure. It is advisable to follow hygiene guidelines to prevent infection and to avoid physical exertion and sexual intercourse for several days to weeks (as directed by the treating physician).

Surgery with a Human Approach

Modern day-case surgery makes it possible to perform procedures without unnecessary hospitalisation. Patients attend their procedure at a pre-arranged time that takes their personal schedule into account. One of the advantages of MY CLINIC is the availability of prompt surgical appointments.

In most cases, patients return home the same day, or at the latest the following day. This eliminates the need for a prolonged hospital stay and allows for a quicker and more comfortable return to normal daily life.

At MY CLINIC, surgical procedures are performed by a team of experienced specialists with many years of practice and international certifications. We combine modern surgical techniques with a strong emphasis on patient safety and comfort.

A compassionate, patient-centred approach is equally important to us. We understand that the decision to undergo surgery may be accompanied by concerns—whether for yourself or for your child. That is why we strive to create an environment where you can feel at ease and confidently place your care in the hands of our doctors.

For paediatric patients, a parent is welcome to remain with the child until the induction of anaesthesia in the operating theatre. The presence of a parent helps the child feel more secure and comfortable before the procedure.

In the majority of cases, patients are discharged on the same day as their procedure. Where medically appropriate, a comfortable single room is also available, providing maximum privacy.

For us, a humane and empathetic approach is not an addition to medical care—it is its natural foundation.

Experienced Surgical Team

Procedures are performed by a team of highly experienced surgeons with many years of clinical practice. Our doctors use modern surgical techniques and regularly participate in professional training and international medical congresses.

We place strong emphasis on procedural safety, thorough pre-operative preparation, and an individual approach to every patient.

Day Surgery – A Rapid Return Home

Most surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques. Patients arrive for their procedure at a pre-arranged time and, after a short period of post-operative observation, are usually able to return home.

Recovery can therefore take place in the comfort of the patient’s home environment, without the risks commonly associated with prolonged hospital stays.

Modern Operating Theatres

All procedures take place in modern operating theatres equipped with advanced technology for minimally invasive surgery.

Our technical facilities allow for gentle surgical techniques, precise diagnostics, and the highest level of safety during operations.

 

Individualised Patient Care

Before surgery, each patient attends a consultation with their surgeon, during which they receive detailed information about the procedure, the type of anaesthesia, and the expected recovery process.

Patients are encouraged to ask questions and, together with their doctor, choose the most appropriate course of treatment.

Non-Binding Pre-Operative Consultation

If you are considering a surgical solution for your health concern, the first step is a consultation with one of our specialists.

During the appointment, the doctor will assess your health condition, explain the available treatment options, and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

You can book an appointment by telephone or via the contact form.
