I have an imperforate hymen, what's the procedure and recovery like? Is the recovery painful? How long is it until I can wear a tampon? I'm just really nervous and worried about the surgery, I don't have a date yet but I have an ultrasound done tomorrow to make sure my ovaries are okay and then my gynecologist has to examine me again before we set a date. And how old were you when you had your procedure done? Im 18..
