How do you know if your hymen is still there?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

If you do have a hymen, you probably can't see or feel it. It's basically impossible to see your hymen yourself

  1. Understanding the Hymen:

    • The hymen is a thin tissue that varies greatly in appearance and thickness among individuals.
    • It can stretch or tear from activities like sports, tampon use, or medical exams, not just sexual activity.
  2. Self-Examination:

    • It's difficult to determine if the hymen is intact by self-examination, which can be uncomfortable.
  3. Professional Guidance:

    • Consult a healthcare provider, such as a gynecologist, for concerns about hymen or vaginal health.
    • They can offer a private examination and address any questions.
  4. Key Consideration:

    • The hymen's state is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual activity. Prioritize health and comfort.

So, me and my girlfriend had a bit of an intimate moment the other day. Her last period was on March 9th, and on the 19th, we were messing around. She was naked, but I still had my underwear on. Somehow, my penis kind of got into her vagina, but it wasnt deep because of the underwear. I didnt ejaculate, but her vaginal fluids did make a wet spot on my underwear. Now, she's three days late on her period, and it's stressing us out. We've always been really careful about these things, so could there still be a chance she might be pregnant?

In summary, while its possible, the chances of pregnancy in this situation seem quite low, especially since there was no direct ejaculation. However, its always best to check with a test for peace of mind. If youre concerned about the future, using protection (like condoms) during all sexual activity can further reduce the chances of unintended pregnancy.

I've been having issues with intercourse because of tightness in my vagina it feels like there's not enough space, and it's causing a mental block too. Is there any surgical option to help widen the area? I'm really hoping to conceive soon and wondering what my options are.

It sounds like you're experiencing Vaginismus, a condition where the vaginal muscles involuntarily tighten, making intercourse painful or difficult. While there's no surgical option to permanently widen the vagina, there are effective non-surgical treatments that can help relax the muscles and address the mental block, paving the way for easier intercourse and a smoother path to conception.

I've been working out 5 days a week, mixing between light and hard exercises, but I've noticed that I bleed vaginally every single time. It's been happening more often in the past 2 months and I've been in this routine for 6 years. I'm really confused because I'm a virgin, so it can't be anything sexual, and my periods are regular. Plus, I've never used birth control. What's going on?

It's concerning that you're experiencing vaginal bleeding during every workout, especially if it's been happening more frequently. This could be related to hormonal imbalances, stress, or even physical strain. I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions and get a proper diagnosis.
