The hymen is the natural piece of tissue present at the opening of the vagina. Often when it’s broken, typically by tampon use or other penetration, small pieces of the tissue are left behind. This leftover tissue, known as hymenal remnants or hymenal tags, can be removed safely in just ten to fifteen minutes.
While hymenal remnants are common and pose no medical risk, many women elect to have this redundant tissue removed for both cosmetic and comfort reasons. Occasionally, the leftover hymenal tissue can become irritated or inflamed causing discomfort. More commonly, patients choose to remove the excess tissue to gain renewed confidence in the appearance of the region.
Hymenal remnant removal, or hymenectomy, is a simple procedure performed in the comfort of the ALVR offices. Patients are given local anesthesia and most treatments are completed in less than 15 minutes. Pain medication is prescribed before the treatment to alleviate any post-procedure discomfort.
