Abstract
Objective To study the consultation and treatment options for young women who desire revirgination surgery, and to offer recommendations.
Methods During her initial visit to a Dutch clinic, each of these women discussed with a physician her reasons for consulting and the treatment options.
Results One hundred and fifty-four women sought advice for virginity-related issues. They were planning to marry or had experienced some form of sexual violence. Of these, 48 chose hymen reconstruction (HR), 26 a temporary hymen suture (THS), and 27 to resort to some expedient for staining the sheets or to another alternative for surgery. At follow-up, 13 of the 17 women who had THS and six of the 11 who had HR reported blood loss on their wedding night, whereas all six women who inserted a capsule with food colouring stated they had stained the sheets.
Conclusions Cost-effective procedures help young women who are no longer virgins to avoid reprisals by their husband or family. Pelvic floor exercises will tighten the vaginal opening. THS seems more effective than HR for producing blood loss. There are alternatives should no blood loss occur during penetration.

摘要
摘要目的给拟行处女膜修复手术的年轻女性提供咨询、治疗选择和建议。
方法在荷兰门诊的首诊时，每位女性患者均与医生讨论处女膜修复的原因，并以此提供咨询和治疗方案。
结果共154名女性寻求有关贞洁相关问题的建议。她们正打算结婚或者经历过某种形式的性暴力。在这些人中，48人选择了处女膜重建（HR），26人选择临时处女膜缝合（THS），27人求助于能够渲染床单的染色剂或其他替代品以替代手术。在随访中，17名选择THS中的13名女性以及11名选择HR中的6名女性在新婚之夜出现出血，而六名选择放置食物色素胶囊的女性则沾满了床单。
结论成本效益分析可以帮助那些不再是处女的年轻妇女避免被她们的丈夫或家人报复。盆底肌肉练习可以紧缩阴道口。在产生出血方面THS似乎比HR更有效。还有其他的在性交过程中不出血的替代选择。
