Name: neelam

I am an indian and I live in Sydney, Australia. I am 25 years old. I am getting married in March of 2005. I had visited a phycisian (for a pap test) over here and she said that my hymen has a very thick wall and hence the test could not be taken. She suggested I should have my hymen surgically opened (hymenotomy) by a gynecologist. She said if I leave it like this, then I will have a very painful (or maybe unbearable) intercourse during my wedding night.

I would like to know an opinion from an indian gynecologist. Thatz the reason I am emailing you. I have tried inserting a tampon, and I
cannot. It feels the hymen is completely locking the insertion. On the other side, I do have my periods regularly, prooving that the hymen is not totally imperforate. Can you tell me if you have come accross such cases and if there is any other solution to it? Should I just leave it the way it is or should I have the surgery? I would really really appreciate your reply.

Thanking you in anticipation.
Best regards,
neelam.
