A member asked:

What does it mean if your hymen has to break after first time having sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: The hymen, if present is a structure with some variation in shape and appearance. Before sexual activity, there is usually a small 1/2 inch diameter +/- hole in the hymen that permits menstrual blood to escape any sexual contact that includes penetration of the hymen with a larger object (penis or toy) would tear the hymen.
