Will a miscarriage procedure break the hymen if the hymen hasn't been broken and the pregnancy is still ongoing?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I've always had a harmonious sex life with my husband. Today, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me I'm pregnant. I'm so happy. The doctor also said that although I had sexual intercourse, my hymen hadn't broken. Suddenly, I had a doubt: if I get a miscarriage, will the procedure break my hymen?

Doctor's answer:

Your hymen is not broken, but you are now pregnant. There is a possibility that it may be torn during the surgical procedure for miscarriage. This procedure is primarily performed through the vagina. First, a speculum is inserted into the vagina. During the process of inserting the speculum, the hymen is very likely to rupture. However, since you already have a child, the rupture of the hymen is not a significant issue and will never interfere with your relationship.
