A member asked:

Since a small hole in a thick hymen will stretch enough to allow natural mucous to flow, how does it expand?won't that stretch the hymen or tear it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: The hymey usually has a narrow opening but some form without one requiring opening surgically during puberty. Increasing the size of the hole happens with sexual activity, either with objects or a male partner.
