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 supposed to have sex during this specific period like my doctor suggested, but I've suddenly come down with a fever. Is it safe or advisable to proceed with sex while I'm not feeling well?

It's generally advisable to avoid sexual activity when you have a fever, as your body is already fighting an infection and may need rest. Engaging in sex could potentially strain your immune system further. It's important to prioritize your health and consult with your doctor for personalized guidance.

I've been having some issues with my breast size and was looking for solutions online. I came across a medicine called HR 49 in a YouTube video. Can you tell me more about this medicine? Is it something that's safe to use? I'm really curious to know if it could help or if I should be concerned about any side effects.

This is a homeopathic medicine which claims to be helpful in cases of underdeveloped mammary glands. There is insufficient information or study conducted upon this drug. It is preferable to not use any medication without a proper doctor's advice or recommendation.

I'm noticing a slight sensation, not exactly pain, when I bend to the left side of my lower abdomen. Any idea what could be causing this?

The slight sensation in your lower left abdomen while bending could be due to various reasons. Here are a few possibilities: 1. Digestive issues: Constipation, gas, or indigestion can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen. 2. Muscle strain: Bending can put strain on the abdominal muscles, leading to a sensation of tightness or discomfort. 3. Hernia: A small hernia in the abdominal wall can cause a sensation of discomfort or pressure when bending. 5. Kidney issues: A kidney stone or infection can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, although this is often accompanied by pain. It's essential to consult a MD MEDICINE to determine the cause of the sensation and rule out any underlying conditions.
