Hello. : Hello. If you are a female who menstruates then your hymen already likely has at least some perforations. If it did not, the blood would not be able to pass out of your body. I am wondering it you are having pain for another reason. There can be vaginal pain if the vagina is not adequately lubricated with secretions. There can also be pain if the female's muscles are in spasm. This can be quite painful. Is there any possibility that you are not emotionally ready to be having sexual intercourse? Vaginismus occurs when the female tightens down with attempted penetration. I suggest that you discuss this with your doctor. Your mother may have valuable insights into this as well.

Yes: There are some women that have a thickened hymen that can benefit from the type of procedure you describe. If other issues are rules out, they can usually do this in an outpatient surgical center if indicated.
