Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, in my culture it is important for a girl to have her hymen intact and not broken. I m a virgin, I have never had sex, however, when i was younger I used to masturbate using my fingers, i remember only spotting happening afterwards and not complete bleeding. It was not very painful however it was uncomfortable. Only now, years after, that I realise that this was not okay for my hymen. Therefore, I gently put my middle finger inside my vagina and there was no problem or pain. Did I break my hymen? please help.
It is not a proof that virginity is only by presence of intact hymen.In some girls,it is already broken as in your case. You probably have broken the hymen while masturbating.Hymen can break due to any other condition like heavy exercising,being in sports. It is not necessary that every act of first sex to be followed by bleeding or breaking of hymen. So you need not worry.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask any more.
