How to check if the hymen is intact

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am also suspecting that my hymen may have been torn due to intense sports activities; it might have been ruptured while doing the parallel bars. How can I check if my hymen is intact?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, regular hospitals do not offer the service of checking whether the hymen is intact unless there is a forensic expert witness certificate. Even then, they only describe the state of the hymen and do not issue a certificate stating whether it is intact or not. You can try standing or squatting, spreading your legs as much as possible, and placing a mirror underneath. After a while, the vaginal opening will gradually open, and you can see your own hymen. You can judge based on what was mentioned above.
