A member asked:

The inside of my vaginal opening, i'm assuming my hymen, looks like flower petals. it doesn't hurt. or appear infected. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is rare these days for a 21 year old to have an intact hymenal membrane. Girls are too active for it not to tear even if they are virginal. When it tears it often looks like flower petals. Hope this helps.

What do you call a hymen that covers your vaginal opening, and is thick. It looks different than an imperforate, but I don't think it's one?
