Should I have my hymen cut?

I've been told by my gynecologist that my hymen is extremely tight (needs to be about 200% looser for comfortable intercourse or vaginal exams) and she recommends that I get it cut. She says that there's a possibility it will tear dangerously if I don't...does anyone know anything about this-what the surgery involves, whether it's a wise choice, etc.?

Not sure how much info you want or need... basically its outpatient, simple and over before you know it. If it is as rigid as you say, the surgey would be a smart move.

Welcome!


If you want, get a second opinion.

Ll,


I've seen this procedure performed once...it's extremely simple.
