Patient's question:
Does a virgin always bleed during her first sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
This is not necessarily the case. For example, some women may experience the rupture of the hymen while participating in strenuous activities such as high jump, horseback riding, or martial arts. In some cases, the hymen may also rupture due to improper cleaning of the external genitalia, the use of internal tampons, or even during masturbation. Strenuous exercise, vaginal medication, and certain heavy physical labor can all lead to the rupture of the hymen. Similarly, inserting foreign objects into the vagina during childhood due to a lack of understanding, as well as masturbation, can also cause the hymen to rupture.For a long time, traditional beliefs have considered the hymen to be a symbol of a woman's virginity, and the rupture of the hymen has been interpreted as meaning the woman is no longer a virgin. This is a very feudal mindset, and judging a woman's virginity solely based on the rupture of the hymen is very one-sided.
