A member asked:
I need help with my pelvic exam report. what is having a virginal introitus (it's not vaginal introitus) mean on a pelvic exam? is my hymen intact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Description: The vaginal orifice is an introitus that leads to the vaginal canal. Virginal simply refers to the fact that the Doctor dictating the report (whom did your pelvic exam) is under the impression that you are a Virgin. You cannot infer that your hymen is intact purely from this description. Hope this helps.

If nothing--sex, etc.--has torn the hymen around introitus, then how is it that the dr. Had to stitch it up during the exam under anesthesia? He stitched it up after he hit it with the speculum.
