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

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

  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.

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.

I'm really concerned because I'm 3 days late on my period and that never happens to me. Normally, Id be getting these cramps, headaches, backaches, and mood swings right before my period starts, but even with all these symptoms, there's still nothing. I was supposed to get it on Friday, and now its Monday. I did something on Wednesday thats freaking me out a bitI masturbated after having sperm on my fingers, but I did wipe it off with tissue before that, and it wasn't immediate. Plus, on Saturday, I pushed myself really hard during a workout and ended up feeling dizzy and nauseous. Could either of these things be affecting my period, or is something else going on? I'm starting to panic here and would love some insight.

Periods get late upto 7 days from your regular timings, depending on various physical and psychological issues. Get relax and wait for next 3-4 days, if not start by then, you could consult a gynecologist.
