How To Confirm If The Hymen Is Intact Or Not?
Question: How do I know the hymen is broken and we can start having children?
Brief Answer:
having sex
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
If you are having sex then the hymen is broken. The hymen can be broken by anything inserted into the vagina, even a tampon. It is a thin piece of skin at the opening of the vagina. It normally has small openings in it so that the blood can come out when women have periods. Once anything of any size is inserted into the vagina this can break the hymen. If you are having regular sex then the hymen is broken and if there are no fertility problems then pregnancy will probably happen. Most people having regular sex around the time of ovulation have a pregnancy within the first year of trying. If you are not having a pregnancy within one year of trying then you should see a doctor. The woman should take a prenatal vitamin daily with folate to prevent neural tube birth defects if you are trying to conceive.

Thank you Dr XXXXXXX I was able to insert my whole sexual orgin inside with no resistence after several days of trying to penetrate the hyman but she never bled so, we were thinking that its not finished. There was pain several times in the beginning but we got through eventually. How do we know we are finished with this part?
Brief Answer:
thanks for the follow up
Detailed Answer:
Some women just do not bleed much when the hymen is perforated, especially if it done gradually over several times. If you are able to insert your penis and have an orgasm then it is possible for pregnancy to occur. If your organ can fit into the vagina then the hymen is perforated enough for pregnancy to occur. It takes time and patience for sex to be comfortable for women who have not had sex before. It should become more comfortable as you continue to have sex
Good luck with the pregnancy
