NHS Hymen ops on young girls

I'm sceptical about this tbh. I suspect it's a surgical coding issue.

Girls do sustain injuries to the vulva/introitus both from sexual abuse & accidents, and these sometimes need surgical repair - not because of any concern about virginity, but to stop bleeding and close wounds.

The surgeons may be using a code for hymenoplasty bc there isn't a more precise one and because they have operated around the hymen.

JFC. Leave girls and women the fuck alone!

Awfully, I no longer trust the NHS not to carry out faith-based unnecessary procedures. Nor to work on an evidence based approach.

I don't think we have begin to grasp how much genderwang has undermined and eroded trust in so many of our essential bodies and organisations.

'An NHS England spokesperson said: 'There is no clinical reason a doctor would repair a hymen, which is why such a procedure is now illegal.
'And the cases recorded are likely a result of the data being inputted incorrectly – not because such procedures actually happened.'
Hymenoplasty in the NHS is recorded under a specific procedure code, which was scrapped in April due to the op being finally banned.
But Ms Rattu called for the code to remain in place to track any continued cases in the future and to avoid such operations being hidden in another category. '

Well done, Ms Rattu. I agree that there needs to be independent investigation of every instance, and probably safeguarding checks on any girl/woman who had the procedure.
