Hymen repair surgery, also known as hymenoplasty, is a simple procedure that will repair a torn hymen or build a hymen that is not present. It is important to understand that the surgery will not restore virginity, but it will allow for women to tear and bleed the first time they engage in intercourse after surgery.

Why should you not drink tea during menstruation?

All the teas contain some amount of tannic acid which in combination with our food reduces the absorption of iron in the body. So, drinking too much of it during periods may not only lead to malabsorption of iron in the body but may also cause headaches, irritability, insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, nervousness due to the caffeine present in the tea.
