Hymen removal surgery?

Is there any way to tell if you are still physically a virgin? I have never had sexual intercourse, but I have used tampons since I was 13 and I read in a magazine that this could cause the hymen to break, but I didn't know for sure. Also, if you are still physically a virgin, is there a doctor out there who will remove it for you? I want my wedding night to be pleasurable not painful.. Thanks.

To the woman who has problems with intercourse, due to pain --and others who commented on "Free Willy": Fact is, men WON"T continue to date a woman with a tough hymen. I know. I didn't start having sex until I was 43, and tried to have intercourse, but it was agonizing. My hymen was like the Great Wall of China. No, men don't want to hurt a woman, so they didn't last. I want to have MY choice of men, not just the kind ones who feel dorry for me. I finally got deflowered at 44, and it was so painful I screamed. I wondered why intercourse was still painful even after. I searched the internet for anything that would give me answers, and there was nothing! This site is great. Now I realize that I still have part of my hymen and that is what's hurting me. If I could get gyn surgery for free, I would. I want so much to enjoy sex and have any partner I want, and be GREAT at sex, too. I don't want to be limited anymore.
And
Don't be hard on Free Willy. He only said what was true. I know, I've been there. with around approximately 30 men trying to enjoy myself.

just wanted to say I agree gonza. Just because it's the Bible belt doesn't mean everyone who's religious, conservative, "born-again" Christian is fearful, close-minded, and ignorant.
Speaking as a man (not a womanly man, in case anyone thinks of labeling me that-I'm a Marine Officer) who was doing research for my girlfriend and came across this page, I just wanted to assure you ladies that not all men are like freewilly. There are indeed still Prince Charmings (I prefer the term knight myself) out there: rugged, strong, protective (not jealous), stable, men who genuinely care for the woman he'll marry, who's not afraid of her virginity, but prizes it (not as something to take from her, but to receive from her since it's hers to give.)
Call me old-fashioned and backward if you will-I'm still saving myself for my girlfriend, and she's saving herself for me, until those gold wedding bands slip on our fingers. No, i'm not criticizing you if you haven't, I merely state my choice and say there are others out there like me.
It's what you give, not what you take. Gonza, you're right, in the end, it's the relationship. And ladies, there are strong knights still out here, granted we may think completly different and sit around watching TV, but we're still here. For what it's worth, just thought you should know.

Look...Im not an expert at this type of stuff but i can definatly say that you should see your gyne if you are consistenlty haveing pain with intercourse. It could be a problem with the type of hymen you have or you might just suffer from vaginal dryness. Nevertheless just to be on the safe side...make an appointment. It never hurts to be sure. LOL. Goodluck girl!!!
