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

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.
-
Self-Examination:
- It's difficult to determine if the hymen is intact by self-examination, which can be uncomfortable.
-
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.
-
Key Consideration:
- The hymen's state is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual activity. Prioritize health and comfort.

I've been having irregular periods just this month, and my gynaecologist put me on Deviry 10mg twice a day for five days. I've taken only two doses so far and I'm noticing some light spotting. I'm a bit worried about whether this is normal and what I should do. Any advice would be really helpful.
