Patient's question:
Patient gender:I am a virgin, I don't know how to proceed???
Doctor's answer:
Due to the varying elasticity and toughness of the hymen, when the penis is inserted, the hymen is torn by external force, resulting in pain and bleeding. However, the degree of pain and bleeding varies from person to person. According to surveys, about 58% feel a dull ache, 30% experience intense pain, and 12% feel no pain. Some women have hymens with exceptionally high elasticity and toughness, which remain intact even when the penis is inserted. This is medically referred to as a "tolerant hymen." Additionally, while sexual intercourse can cause the hymen to tear, hymen rupture is not always a result of intercourse. Vigorous exercise, vaginal medication, certain heavy physical labor, and inserting foreign objects into the vagina during childhood, as well as masturbation, can also lead to hymen rupture. The hymen and virginity are not synonymous.
