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.

I'm 19 and about two months ago, I took more than six of those emergency contraceptive pills. I haven't had my period since then, and I've been dealing with some lower abdomen pain, skin allergies, headaches, hair fall, and I've noticed I've gained some weight. Can you help me figure out what's going on with my health? I'm really worried.

male sexual disorders, such as erectile dysfunction, you can consult either a urologist or an andrologist. Both specialists can help, but there's a subtle difference: *Urologist* 1. *Focus*: Urologists primarily focus on the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including kidneys, bladder, prostate, and penis. 2. *Expertise*: They diagnose and treat conditions like erectile dysfunction, prostate issues, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections. 3. *Treatment options*: Urologists often provide medical and surgical treatments, including medications, injections, and surgeries. *Andrologist* 1. *Focus*: Andrologists specialize in male reproductive health, focusing on hormonal and reproductive issues. 2. *Expertise*: They diagnose and treat conditions like low testosterone, infertility, erectile dysfunction, and hypogonadism. 3. *Treatment options*: Andrologists often provide hormonal therapies, fertility treatments, and lifestyle counseling.

The treatment plan for fibroids will depend on how the symptoms are affecting your daily life, and your body's ability to function normally, or whether you plan to have children. Your gynaecologist may adopt a watch-and-wait approach to see if medication can relieve your symptoms.If you are planning to conceive, medication may be prescribed to help shrink the fibroids or a procedure known as myomectomy may be recommended to remove them.
