How Can An Intact Hymen Be Determined?
Hi can I know whether my hymen is intact? I m a virgin and I m very curious to know whether my hymen is broken. I have never bled other than during my periods but when I looked at my vaginal opening by holding a mirror and torch I noticed that the bottom part of the opening is kind of separated into 3 parts and it isn t one straight crown like shaped. I m not sure whether it is because it is broken or whether it is supposed to be that way. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Whether the hymen is intact or not can be determined by a clinical examination by gynecologist. It can be known by visualization through per speculum examination. It is difficult to see by self in the mirror and conclude about the hymen status.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
