How painful is hymen repair surgery and how long does recovery usually take? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect in terms of pain and downtime. Does it require general anesthesia or is local enough? Also, will I need to take time off work or avoid certain activities during healing?

Hymenoplasty is usually done under local anesthesia with mild discomfort post-op. Recovery takes about a week; you may need to avoid physical exertion during healing.

I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?
