Can a girl lose her virginity without knowing?

A woman may not know her hymen has broken, because it doesn't always cause pain or noticeable bleeding. Having a broken hymen doesn't necessarily mean a woman has lost her virginity.

My mother is 45 and has been dealing with gynecological issues for the past three years. She had uterus surgery back in 2015 and has been consulting Dr. Shipra Rani and Dr. Hemlata, who are known as the best gynecologists in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. But now they're saying she needs to see a higher specialist outside our area. I'm really worried what could be the issue that they haven't been able to diagnose? Where should we go for better help, and are there any precautions we should take in the meantime?

Patient is advised for surgeon opinion for further management.

I'm a 24-year-old woman dealing with some issues that are really worrying me. I've been in a stable relationship for quite a while and have been sexually active for about six years. Usually, everything's okay after sex, but sometimes, two days later, I get really painful vaginal discomfort. It's not all the time, but it's been happening more often. Also, my periods last for about 12 days, which feels longer than usual, and I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I've been on homeopathic treatment for six months. About ten days ago, I had intercourse and have been in severe pain ever since. It's been lingering for the past eight days, and I'm really struggling. What do you suggest I do at this point? It's becoming really tough to handle.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Persistent vaginal pain after sex could indicate an infection, irritation, or underlying issue like PCOS-related hormonal changes. Please consult a gynecologist promptly for an evaluation, as timely care is essential for your comfort and health.

I've noticed over the past year that my right labia minora has swollen and gotten bigger than it usually is. It's not painful, just feels sort of fat and bigger, which makes walking really uncomfortable for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Also, I've been getting painful acne on the softer skin in that area. Could this have anything to do with constipation? I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back to its normal size.

Possible Causes of Swollen Labia Minora:* 1. Vulvar edema (fluid retention) 2. Vulvovaginitis (inflammation) 3. Bartholin's gland cyst or abscess 4. Skin conditions (eczema, dermatitis) 5. Infections (yeast, bacterial, or viral) 6. Trauma or injury 7. Hormonal changes 8. Poor hygiene or irritation Restoring Normal Size:* 1. Consult a gynecologist or dermatologist for proper diagnosis. 2. Maintain good hygiene: gentle cleansing, avoid harsh soaps. 3. Wear breathable clothing and avoid tight underwear. 4. Apply cool compresses or warm baths for comfort. Treatment Options:* 1. Antibiotics or antifungals for infections 2. Anti-inflammatory medications 3. Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalance) 4. Surgical removal of cysts or abscesses (if necessary)
