Will breaking the hymen with a finger?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The hymen is fan-shaped, and it can usually be seen by stretching the labia with the hand. The depth of the hymen inside the vagina varies among different people. Vigorous exercise can cause the hymen to tear, and this often comes with pain. There may also be bleeding when the hymen tears, though the amount of blood varies from person to person. A single finger can tear the hymen.
