Introduction
In general, a ruptured hymen does not heal spontaneously. However, hymen repair can be achieved through medical aesthetic procedures such as fractional laser treatment or surgical hymenoplasty. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. After surgery, activities that put pressure on the perineal area—such as prolonged sitting, cycling, squatting, or excessive leg spreading—should be avoided. Keep the perineal area dry and wear loose, cotton underwear.
