Patient's question:
Hello.The first time, I didn’t bleed, but it was very painful. Why is that? Also, the next 2 or 3 times were very painful, but there wasn’t much excitement. It wasn’t until the fourth time that I felt a little something...
Am I doing something wrong?
Doctor's answer:
First of all, let me ask, are you referring to the hymen? The answer is not necessarily. Bleeding is actually the result of the hymen being torn. If your hymen has already ruptured before your first time (due to activities like intense exercise or sports training, for example), there would be no bleeding. Additionally, some people have a hymen with a large opening, which is sufficient to allow sexual intercourse without tearing, resulting in no bleeding. There's also the case where the hymen is quite thick and hasn't been torn, which would also prevent bleeding but could cause significant pain. It sounds like your situation falls into this category.
