Hymenoplasty is a procedure intended to recreate the hymen; health bodies regard it as having no medical justification, and its legal status varies around the world.

UK government advice, informed by the World Health Organization and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, says the operation serves no clinical purpose and points out that the state of the hymen says nothing reliable about sexual history.

It sets out bleeding, infection, scarring, narrowing of the vaginal opening, sexual difficulties and psychological harm as risks.

Under the Health and Care Act 2022, hymenoplasty is a criminal offence across the UK, including helping a UK national or resident to have it abroad. Laws in other countries differ.

Anyone pressured into this procedure or into a virginity test can ask a doctor or a women's support service for confidential help.

Fitness to fly: aviation guidance does not give a figure for cosmetic surgery, so book your flight after the wound check and move around the cabin regularly.

In Chennai, the price of hymenoplasty is generally built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood work, an ECG and an anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: billed largely on operating time.
• Surgeon's fee: which reflects experience.
• GST: may be charged, because cosmetic surgery does not count as exempt healthcare.
• Kind of procedure: and who performs it.
• Anaesthesia: generally local.
• Setting: generally outpatient.
• Follow-up: wound checks.
