Hymen repair surgery, or hymenoplasty, aims to restore the hymen's physical appearance, typically by stitching together remnants or creating a new one using vaginal tissue. While considered safe, it's crucial to understand the procedure's risks and recovery process, as well as its limitations in restoring "virginity"

I've been dealing with soreness in one of my nipples for a few days now, and its really uncomfortable when I touch it. A few months back, I had some discharge from the same nipple and underwent an ultrasound and several blood tests, but everything came back negative. Ive been on birth control pills for about 7 years. Any ideas on why I might be experiencing this pain, even though there's no discharge or other issues right now?

there might be some hormonal changes so you are getting pain. apply primrose oil every night for 1 month it will reduce your pain

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.
