If the doctor who examined you is a GYN doctor, you should trust what the doctor said. If not, you can see a GYN doctor for a second opinion.

It could conceivably stretch and not rip, which could also explain how it could be overlooked on an exam. You need to see an experienced women's health care professional and show them what you are feeling and seeing. Use a mirror if necessary, and then you can get a definite answer and have an appropriate discussion.
