A member asked:
Can climbing stairs and jumping jacks and running plus other lower body and thighs exercises break the hymen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, and...: It does not matter. It cannot matter. So, ignore the hymen. Usually, only in cases of alleged sexual assault upon girls and women do we physicians engage in the careful examination of hymens, collecting evidence of physical damage to be used later in courts of law. In normal everyday life, people should not be "checking hymens" nor thinking about whether they are broken or not broken.
