Confidential Treatment for Hymenal Tags in London Clinics
Hymen skin tags
Hymen skin tags (also known as hymenal tags ) are small, soft growths of skin that appear at the edge of the hymen, located at the vaginal opening. They are benign and common, but can sometimes cause discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness.
At our clinic, we offer safe, quick and discreet hymen skin tag removal carried out by medical professionals in a private setting.
What Are Hymen Skin Tags?
A hymen skin tag is simply an extra flap of skin that protrudes from the hymenal tissue. They may be present from birth, appear after puberty, or develop following activities that stretch or tear the hymen, such as tampon use, sexual activity, or vaginal childbirth.
While hymenal tags are harmless, some people choose removal because they:
- Cause irritation with clothing, tampons or intercourse
- Lead to pain or discomfort during intimacy
- Become inflamed or sore
- Create cosmetic concerns or affect confidence
Hymen Skin Tag Removal Procedure
Removal of hymenal tags is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic in our clinic. The process is straightforward and usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Treatment Options
- Excision with surgical scissors or scalpel – the excess tissue is cut away precisely leaving a tiny wound which will heal like a graze
- Cautery or electrosurgery – tissue is removed with controlled heat using our microcautery laser device. This minimises bleeding for fast and comfortable recovery
Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate method depending on the size and position of the tag.
Multiple skin tags can normally all be treated within the same session.
Aftercare and Recovery
Most patients recover quickly with minimal downtime:
- Mild swelling, spotting or tenderness may occur for a few days
- Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection
- Avoid sexual activity, tampons, or strenuous exercise until fully healed (1–2 weeks)
Follow-up may be arranged to check healing

Hymenal Skin Tag Removal Consultation
The cost of consultation with our doctors is £75. This is redeemable against the cost of treatment carried out on the same day.
Prices are a guide to the costs and the exact price can only be determined once the doctor has examined you in person. Most hymen skin tags don’t need histology testing. However, in certain circumstances if the doctor thinks it is necessary, then they will discuss this with you and the related costs.

FAQ's
Hymen Skin Tag Removal FAQ: Questions & Answers
Yes. Hymen skin tags (or hymenal tags) are relatively common and completely benign. Many people never notice them unless they become irritated or are felt during tampon use, sex, or self-examination.
In some cases, hymenal tags may shrink over time, especially in children. However, in adults they usually remain unless removed. If a tag causes discomfort or distress, removal is the most reliable option.
Hymen skin tags typically appear as a small, soft flap of extra tissue at the edge of the vaginal opening. They are painless to touch and usually flesh-coloured. If you are unsure, book a consultation for a professional assessment to rule out other conditions such as cysts or polyps.
No — the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic so you should not feel pain during removal. Afterwards, you may experience mild tenderness or spotting for a few days, which is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Most patients recover very quickly. Healing is typically complete within 1–2 weeks. During this time, it’s recommended to avoid sexual activity, tampon use and vigorous exercise to allow the area to heal fully.
It is unusual for the same tag to regrow once it has been removed. However, it is possible for new tags to develop in the future, especially after childbirth or trauma to the hymenal tissue.
Yes. Removal is a quick, low-risk procedure when carried out by trained medical professionals in a sterile clinical setting. Risks such as bleeding, infection, or scarring are very rare.
No. Hymenal tags are external skin growths and removing them does not affect virginity, fertility, or sexual function. The procedure is cosmetic/comfort-focused only.
At our clinic, all procedures are carried out by experienced doctors and plastic surgeons who have undergone training in skin and intimate procedures, ensuring discretion, safety, and professional care. We have a number of female doctors/surgeons within the team. We understand that some patients are more comfortable with this, so please let us know if this is a preference.
Please see our hymen skin tag removal prices information. Costs may vary depending on the size and number of tags, and the removal method used. At your consultation, you will be given a clear treatment plan and pricing before proceeding.
