What Could It Be If Having Extra Skin At The Opening Of The Vagina?
Hi I'm 14 years old and recently started my period and realized that I have this string like piece of skin that connects from one side of my vagina to the other. It's at the opening and when I take my tampon out it hurts a lot and I have to push it to the side to get my tampon out. I haven't told my mom because I wasn't sure if it is bad or not. Thank you

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears that is the hymen, and it may be cleared by 2nd or 3rd periods. If you use pads, instead of the tampons, for few cycles to prevent the discomfort.
If it is continuing you can consult your doctor for a cut of the hymen if necesory.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to improve the general health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
