Patient's question:
Condition Description: Can ultrasound detect the hymen?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, an ultrasound cannot determine whether the hymen is broken. Generally, you can go to the gynecology department and have a doctor check it for you, or you can use a mirror in front of you, spread your labia majora and labia minora with both hands, and you can see it. It is usually located about 1.5 cm from the vaginal opening. The hymen is a thin membrane covering the external vaginal opening with a hole in the center, located at the boundary between the vagina and the vaginal vestibule. The front and back surfaces of the membrane are pink, and the surface is moist. If it is not present, do not be anxious or afraid. It is possible that the hymen was broken during intense physical activities such as cycling or sports. If you want to repair it, you can have a repair surgery at the hospital. It is a relatively simple minor surgery. Wishing you health and happiness!
