A member asked:

Will an obgyn tell without a shadow of a doubt that my hymen was torn because of sex?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

No: It is a myth that the hymen always remains intact until intercourse. Athletics, sports, even normal activity as well as normal human variation cause the hymen to look different. An Obgyn would not be able to tell the difference.
