A member asked:
Can your hymen shrink again if you don't have sex for a long time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Once the hymen is disrupted, it will not regenerate. Lack of vaginal distention (no vaginal sex) CAN result in tightening of the vaginal structures, particularly in younger women who have not given birth.
