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.

View allMy mom is 50 and has been having lower abdomen pain for days. Her USG scan shows a retroverted uterus and low lying prolapse. How serious is this and will she need surgery
A retroverted uterus and low-lying prolapse can cause lower abdominal pain and may or may not require surgery, depending on the severity and symptoms. A retroverted uterus (tilted backward) is common and often doesn't cause symptoms, but can sometimes be associated with pain, especially during menstruation or intercourse. Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into the vagina, can range from mild to severe and may cause discomfort or interfere with daily activities. Treatment options vary, with mild cases often managed with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes, while more severe cases may require surgery.

I'm a bit concerned because I started bleeding for about 5 days after a dilation and curettage, then it stopped for 3 days, but now it's started again, and the bleeding is brown. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?
Bleeding 5 days after a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is common, and the subsequent stoppage for 3 days followed by brown-colored bleeding could be due to hormonal changes, uterine lining shedding, or minor spotting
