Hymen

Can hymen break during the period? For the first months of my periods I had big clots of blood like a small finger and I was worried that it will break my hymen. Is that true or not? Does everyone has that or it just me? I have my period for 5 years and my vagina looks different even I have not had intercourse I am afraid that I am not a virgin anymore

The hymen can only break during your period if you use a tampon. I doubt the blood clots broke your hymen. I have read in a magazine that blood clots dime size or smaller are normal. If they are quarter size or larger, see a doctor. You're hymen isn't just gonna break by little stuff like that. It usually breaks during events such as bike riding, gymnastics, or putting in a tampon. When it breaks you'll be able to tell because a little bit of blood will come with it and it will be sore for a little bit. Even if your hymen breaks, you are still considered a virgin. You are a virgin until the first time you have sexual intercourse.
