Brief Answer:
old hymen

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You noticed recently that you have finger like projections around the opening of the vagina. This could be residual tissue from your hymen. The hymen is a membrane that goes around the vagina and is what causes the pain and bleeding with first intercourse. The tissue is benign and should not give you any concerns
