Hymenectomy?

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

I went to the gyno for the first time a few weeks ago, hoping to get myself one because I believed (mistakenly, as it turns out) that I had a septate hymen. It turns out I just have a really small opening. But when I even brought it up to the doctor, she continued to question me, asking "why do you think you need this?" and eventually the subject was dropped. Am I right to feel kind of annoyed that she wrote me off? Should I seek another doctor to do it for me, or is this the kind of thing you should only do if it's really necessary? Thanks :)

I'm new here, but I agree with the above posters. You need to be comfortable with your doctor. If you feel like you were written off, you might want to think about finding a new one. As for the hymenectomy I had one years ago for the same reason that you want one. My opening was so small I couldn't even insert a junior sized tampon. Unlike you, my doctor was the one to suggest it. It really helped me, and I think it could help you too.
