A member asked:

Can you let me know how many fingers should you insert to know if your hymen is broken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No way to test: There is not sure-fire test to determine if a woman has had sexual intercourse. The hymen is a thin ring of tissue that is very stretchy. It doesn't always "break" when first intercourse occurs.
