I have a septate hymen and am getting it removed in December right in his office. The doctor said he would do it under local anesthetics and it would be a quick prodecure. can anyone tell me what happens during the procedure? how many shots it takes to numb? how long will it take? and will it hurt?
What may be an over simplification is you have an enlarged Hyman that is blocking the ability of your menstrual blood to flow from you vagina.
Your Hymen does not totally block you vaginal entrance. There is space left for your period flow to flow through. In your case your Hymen has an extended portion blocking this flow and the doctor in a small surgical procedure, normally done in an office visit, will remove that portion.
The rest of your Hyman will remain intact. As for pain you will probably not feel any as the doctor will numb the tissue surrounding the area. When the Hymen is ruptured during first intercourse it is not the Hymen itself that causes pain but the tearing from the walls of your vagina and if the male is not genital the stretching of your vagina to accommodate his penis.

Apparently it's quick...one quoted 15 min Dr appt. and all said it was painless. In fact they felt lots of pain trying to use a tampon but non with the procedure and all were glad they had it done.
