A member asked:
I found out that i have septate hymen.should i go for hymenectomy or it can be break by intercourse?help please.

Should break: The need for such a procedure is defined more by thickness of the membrane than the pattern or type of hymen you have. You can discuss this with your doc/obgyn who can assess the thickness, or just feel comfortable in the knowledge that it is rarely necessary.
