Sophie Ricketts & Hymenectomy Surgery

Welcome to That’s So Chronic! Today I am chatting to Sophie Ricketts, and she talks us through a hymenectomy surgery that she had while she was at drama school.

In this episode Sophie explains the process of discovering that she had a thick hymen, which involves several people telling her “she wasn’t ready” for sex, a gut feeling that wasn’t initially followed through, and a gynaecologist drawing a picture. This diagnosis resulted in a hymenectomy, a surgery that removes a part of the hymen. But, Sophie’s story doesn’t just end there. While going through this process she made a decision to share her story publicly, and she tells us exactly how that went down.
