I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.
