A member asked:

How do hymen tears look lik?whn u open the vagina, is separation between notches evident?nd if they healed may they bleed again during first time sex

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: Every woman's hymen looks different. Many women who are virgins have hymens that look exactly the same as non-virgins. Tears look like broken skin, with exposed blood vessels. Separation is normal in virgin and non-virgin. Yes may bleed again during sex.
