Brief Answer: Hymen is present and is intact Detailed Answer: Hi Dear Ms Thanks for providing the picture. The hymen is definitely present and is intact, there is a small opening in center of hymen that is quite common to allow the menstrual blood drainage, the edges are smooth except posterioly where the margin is bit interrupted( The clarity/resolution of picture is not good). For all practical purpose the hymen is present and is intact. I hope , I have cleared your doubt, do let me know if you have any further query along with clinical history. Take care Best regards Dr Deepak

Brief Answer: Hymen looks almost normal Detailed Answer: Dear Ms On careful examination of clinical picture provided by you, I see that hymen is clearly present except for slight irregularity posteriorly which can only be appreciated by expert examination. Being Pediatric Surgeon , I have come across several cases of rapes in minor, ranging from 9 months old baby to 18 year old young female. For penetration t occur in children it requires lot of force, not only the hymen ruptures alone but also there is severe vaginal tear and also tear extended to rectum which is quite unlikely in adults. I cannot see any such evidence in your clinical photograph. Being a Parent myself , I do understand the difficult situation you must be facing with regards to your marriage. Let me assure you, the hymen orifice looks very much normal and there is no cause for concern. Do mail me directly if you need any assistance anytime, will be privileged of being of any help to you. Wishing you a Happy and married life. Take Care Best Regards Dr Deepak

Brief Answer: I'm cent percent sure hymen is intact Detailed Answer: Dear Ms I am cent percent sure hymen is intact. I assume you are broadminded free lady. Even if one does not have hymen there are many other causes for rupture of hymen like horse riding, skiing etc. I do understand your concern. Feel free to approach and write back anytime. I am really sorry for the traumatic event you had underwent in your childhood. Take care Best Regards Dr Deepak
