Hello dear,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Healthcare Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
Briefly let me explain to you what Hymen is. It is a piece of tissue, a membrane that lines the vaginal opening, and in different cultures it represent the virginity of a girl. The intact hymen almost never covers the entire vagina. If it did, virgin girls could not menstruate. In some women, it has a ladder-like appearance with bands of tissue extending from one side to the other. In others, it resembles a honeycomb with multiple small openings.
Although gym workout involves moving up and down, and cycling puts pressure on your groin area, these activities do NOT change the hymen.
You could enjoy your workout without having nothing to worry about. Beside your workout, I would suggest you to have a better control of your diet, by eating just healthy food.
Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns feel free to write again.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Ina
