A member asked:

If my general doctor manually tested to see that my hymen was intact, and she said that it was. does that mean it is as if nothing happened to it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't know.: Don't know exactly what she meant and not sure I know what you mean either. Hymens come in all different kinds of configurations - apparently yours is "intact." Which I suspect is normal - understanding there is a large range of normal..... You will have to ask your doc specifically what she meant by that.
