Beloved of All
Dear friends, I am seeking your advice and suggestion on a very sensitive challenge which I am going through right now. So, it was New Year 2024. I was fully motivated to start my year right. I was extremely determined. But, now looking back, maybe I was too determined in an unGodly way. I have a boyfriend of 10 years. We have been saving each other for marriage. We have dated since high school. Suddenly on 8th of Jan, I started having Mid cycle bleeding which lasted for 4 days which was long enough to consider it to be an ovulation bleeding. So, I was very scared and freaked out. Went to Gynaecologist on the 4th day. I did as her advise and did Transvaginal Ultrasound. I have never had a sexual as well as non-sexual penetration before. At the time, I had not even thought of my hymen. Coz I was more overburdened with my abnormal bleeding. My fear for bleeding took over my thought of hymen. There was fresh blood from the Transvaginal Ultrasound and it was very painful as well. Only on the next day, I realized my hymen had torned. Since then, I have been crying almost every single day grieving my torned hymen. I am so sad at the thought of all the effort me and my boyfriend have made. I am scared to even tell him because he will think I am stupid for even wanting to do Transvaginal ultrasound instead of Transabdominal one since he is from a medical professionel. I feel like my life has fallen apart and I have nothing to look forward to. So, I have looked up the internet and I’ve heard there is this thing called Cosmetic Gynaecology. They said they can fix torned hymen in a procedure called Hymenoplasty. I don’t know if I should go ahead with this procedure or not. I don’t want to tell my parents and my partner because I am scared they will take it the wrong way and they will not understand it. And since Hymenoplasty is also done by other girls who want to hide their past sexual life, it made me think of the procedure in a bit of a different way. I don’t know what is right or wrong anymore. I cannot imagine what rape/sexually abused patients would have gone through. I pray that they get their healing and closure from our Heavenly God. So, dear friends, I have been waiting on God to give me signs what to do. To wait for Him and trust in Him till my marriage and be as I am or to go ahead and take a risk with the procedure. I am so lost. I never knew I would have a problem like this in my life. Thank you and waiting for your advices and prayers in anticipation.
