Question 1

how to know if my hymen is broken?

Accepted Answer

Use a compact mirror: And gently use your fingers. It must be at least partially broken because at your stated age of 43 years you must have had multiple menses and the blood has been coming out between the lips of the vagina.  Ergo, the hymen cannot be completely intact! QED [From the Latin: Thus it is demonstrated.]

Question 3

how do i know if my hymen is brocken ?

Accepted Answer

"broken" = sex: Breaking one's hymen is another way to denote virginity or having (had) sex. So if you haven't ever engaged in sexual activity whether penile, digital or foreign body, then your hymen is "intact". However, most hymen will have a small hole to allow for menstrual flow. This is not a "broken" hymen but rather normal. Check out http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/femalehealth/hymen.html for more info.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: The normal hymen is a circle of elastic tissue around the vagina opening, like a stretchy bracelet. It's not a solid layer of skin except for rare condition of imperforate hymen where there's no opening and no way for menstrual blood to leave the body. If you've had periods, you haven't got an imperforate hymen. Likely there's another reason why sex is painful. Suggest see your MD for evaluation.

Your doc: Some women are born with no hymen, a limited wide shelf like hymen or lose it through childhood trauma, self sex, or other event. If your finger passes easily into the opening it could be gone or "broken".Your doc could examine the area and let you know.
