I can't find/see my vagina. Please help?
*I'm 17, a virgin, and I have never used a tampon.
Today, I decided to look at my vagina, and I can't see my hymen, clit, or any holes what-so-ever. I'm getting extremely freaked out. All I see is a little slit that is approx. 40% on my labia minora. That's it. I know that it's supposed to be slit all the way up, but it isn't. The other day I was working out, and it started to hurt a bit. I looked, and my labia minora kind of tore....I'm not sure what happened. I asked my sister if hers was like that, and she said "no!". I also have a twin sister and she has the same problem as me (if that helps)
Please help, I'm afraid and completely lost. Any clarifications would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
*I don't know if it is a labial adhesion because I thought that happens to new borns/children, but from the looks of it, it sounds like it is.

I remember being freaked out about the same thing when I was 16.
It's most likely that your hymen is still there or partially there, it can tear from doing all kinds of things including working out, that is probably what you felt tore. I had that happen a few times with me, it didn't completely go until i had sex for the first time, I was even using tampons with a bit of my hymen still in tact and sometimes made it difficult to remove the tampons, they often got caught on the hymen and i remember looking to see what was happening and I could see a part of the hymen going across and for a while I thought I had 2 holes for a vagina (which totally freaked me out) but it was just my hymen hadnt completly gone. everything turned out ok in the end, after having sex for the first time, made my hymen completely go.

Do you have periods? If the menstrual flow is coming out, you have a hole that lets stuff out of the vagina. I'd look with a mirror, at the beginning of your flow or at the end, to try to see where it is coming from.
