Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
I can understand your concern.
Some women however are born with little hymen tissue it may appear that there is none present.
The hymen is a thin membrane just inside the vaginal opening that is seen at birth
The effect of masturbation on the hymen present would depend on what was done. For example stimulation of the clitoris would not affect the hymen however insertion of objects would.
In fact even without masturbation, the use of tampons, riding a bicycle, riding a horse would disrupt the hymen, simple menstruation because the blood would have had to pass through this membrane.
In most if not all adult women the membrane would already be worn away by adulthood.Virginity is not simply about the presence of a hymen because this may not be present.
The fact that you have never had penetrative intercourse makes you a virgin. Your vaginal passage would narrow and your eventual partner would recognize this.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

HI,
I was not able to see the hymen.
Your eventual partner will not know if you loss your hymen or not. It is not something that would be felt on penetration or a barrier that would be felt when broken.
The vaginal passage would be tight and narrow and your partner would be able to see that you were not active previously.
This is why women who may have been active for a long time have procedures to tighten their vagina.

HI
In the photo you uploaded , if you look to the top of the image , there is a membrane that can be seen.It has a translucent or cloudy appearance. The entire top of this area cannot be seen to see if it is completely intact, but some of it is present.
I am sorry for that, I did not see it properly the first time, I apologise for any distress this may have caused you

So, I didn't not damaged my hymn?
No,it does not appear so.
If you masturbate by just clitoral stimulation, there should not be any damage in the future either.
If you do it by insertion of any objects then it is possible that damage may occur.
Hope this puts your mind at ease
Feel free to ask anything else

This one provides less information than the first. You can try using a hand to spread the labia, place your feet together and open your knees as widely as possible , this is the pap smear position
The room should be brightly lit
This should provide a clear photo
