When I was younger I had a septate hymen which naturally broke during intercourse. I then had no problem with pain during sex for a year or so and the hymen tag was only very thin and small, however now it has grown and cause persistent pain during sex on the same spot. I want to have it removed, howver I only have Medicare and know it will cost a lot, which I don't have. Does anyone know the average cost and how the procedure works? Thankyou

Thank you for your question. At this time, there are no insurance providers that cover cosmetic, elective procedures like a vaginoplasty. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, good luck!
Fingerlike and looplike skin tags at the vaginal opening are usually the remnants of your hymen. They can be removed in the office under local anesthesia, but pose no risk to your health.
