virgin girl's hymen

by josednbr, Nov 28, 2008 04:32AM


i have 2 questions. please, answer my questions about the breaking & bleeding of hymen of a virgin girl.

(1) can a doctor tell by performing the pelvic exam ( or examining the hymen ) that when a virgin girl had first time sex in her whole life. ( I MEAN , WHEN DID THE PENIS ENTER FIRST TIME IN THE VAGINA OF A VIRGIN GIRL ).


(2) can a doctor tell when a virgin girl's hymen  was broken ? and how was her hymen broken ? ( I MEAN, WAS HER HYMEN BROKEN BY PENIS PENETRATION DURING FIRST TIME SEX OR WAS HER HYMEN BROKEN DURING NON-SEXUAL ACTIVITIES LIKE BIKE RIDING , FINGERING OR INJURY DURING CHILDHOOD). i heard that a doctor can guess that when penis entered first time in the vagina of a virgin girl.

No, a physician cannot tell what caused hymen breackage. In today's modern world (assuming you live in one), many women are so physically active that their hymens are either partially or totally broken by means other than a penis.

A doctor can tell by pelvic exam if a girl's hymen is broken. But he can NOT tell when or how it was broken. There is no way a physical exam can determine how or when a girl's hymen was broken.

Who told you that (mom etc.?) and can I ask why this is important?
