Patient's question:
I had my first time with my boyfriend. At the time, I was drowsy and only felt a lot of pain. The next morning, I didn't notice any bleeding, but suddenly felt intense pain in my abdomen. I discovered that there was a lot of blood coming out. However, it continued to flow for a while. I thought it might be my period. This period was different from usual—my abdomen was extremely painful, and there was a lot of blood. It also started 10 days early. My periods have always been very regular, usually only deviating by 3 days early or late. Normally, the first day of my period is light, and it only starts to be heavy on the second day. This time, it was heavy from the very beginning.Why did my period come so much earlier? I have never had it this early before!
What kind of help do I need: I am a virgin, but why wasn’t there any bleeding? Was the blood from my period or did my hymen break?
Doctor's answer:
Many reasons can lead to bleeding, the hymen naturally tears due to movement or external force. It's possible that the hymen has already torn before due to physical activity, and the menstrual period is usually about 7 days earlier or later, which is still considered normal. Some men are particularly gentle and careful when a woman loses her virginity, so their actions are lighter. A large penis may press against the torn skin of the hymen, slightly providing a soothing effect, which can make it appear as if there is no bleeding.
