Over the counter: anti-yeast medication, if exam needed for other medication, just a small qtip swab could be used without disrupting your hymen

Over the counter: You can look to over the counter products if you wish. There are many available and some may be helpful. But realize you will eventually need to do maintenance on this part of your body, virgin or not. The docs have ways to evaluate & treat you without the scary pelvic exam. Find someone you can talk to and trust before you need him/her in an emergency.
