Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Please check the attached images and tell me if my hymen is intact. If not, to which percentage is it damaged? Is the size of my vagina opening normal as a virgin?

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I looked over the image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Your vagina and hymen are fine, and it is normal. So why do you feel that something is not correct? As you mentioned, you have fingered yourself, but that is minimal, so please do not worry further. Even if the hymen is torn, it can be recreated because the hymen can get torn for various reasons like games, cycling, horse riding, etc

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I want to know it because my boyfriend said when he puts his finger (like I described), he feels loose than before. Then he inserted two fingers. Then I said it hurt, and he stopped. He said that my hymen was broken. That is why I want to know it, doctor. Is mine intact?

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The hymen is a very thin membrane, and your boyfriend may not be qualified enough to connect on its condition. As far as I could see from the image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), it appears fine. Please do not worry.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Take care.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is it intact? Why did you use the word fine?

I need to know whether it is intact or not. Please, help me, doctor.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As I could see in the image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), it is intact. However, you may like to get a local vaginal examination done by a gynecologist.

It is apparently intact, as I could see in the image. Local examination by a gynecologist will surely help.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Take care.
