Patient's question:
Hello! Although we had some intense and stimulating experiences before our first time with my boyfriend, we never went further than fingering, and there was no bleeding. Yesterday, we had our first sexual intercourse, but there was still no bleeding. I'm very confused about this. Can you explain it to me?Doctor's answer:
First sexual intercourse does not necessarily involve bleeding. It can range from a few milliliters or drops to heavy bleeding. It is even possible for the hymen to break without bleeding. It is not rare for a virgin to not bleed during her first sexual intercourse, and there are several reasons for this, such as a thick and tough hymen, a large hymen opening with fewer blood vessels, or congenital absence. It may break during vigorous activity or while using a tampon—perhaps it had already broken before you had sexual intercourse. Some hymens may not bleed even if they break. Moreover, the hymen does not always break during the first sexual intercourse. Therefore, there is no need to worry about it. If you are still concerned, you can see a doctor for a check-up. The most important thing is mutual trust and love between you. The virginity complex can harm both individuals. Some may bleed the first time their hymen breaks, and bleeding may still occur during subsequent sexual activity.
