how to tell if your hymen is broken?

I believe that the only way to be 100% sure is to see an OB-GYN for a pelvic exam.

Not necessarily. The hymen can be broken through everyday activities. The use of tampons can break the hymen also.  Most women do not bleed when virginity is lost.

Other people already mentioned:  the hymen could break a thousand different ways without sex.  Lack of hymen doesn' mean that she isn't a virgin.\n\nTightness is a factor of genetics, previous sex/childbirth, and/or exercise.  A virgin could be extremely "loose" or "tight".  It depends on the person.  Bleeding may or may not happen.\n\nPain is not a factor.  If you are causing her pain, then she just might be too tight for you, may be nervous and tensing her muscles too much,, too dry, etc....  Also, if you care causing her pain... you are doing something wrong.\n\nIn short, the best way to tell is to trust the woman and have her tell you.  If you think she would lie to you, then why do you care if she is a virgin or not?

its because you break the hymen, and since youve never had sex before your like super tight and the penis stretches out the vagina entrance which hurts. it will hurt the first few times.

A hymen can be broken by other means than sex, and it is possible for a hymen not to break during sex. As a result, an intact hymen or lack of one (and bleeding or lack of same) is not a true indicator of virginity.

no , in fact it might not bleed at all . if it does , that is not a period , the blood would be from the hymen ( skin that covers the vaginal opening ) a period is a completely different thing . although it can happen before , during , or after intercourse . most girls don't bleed from a broken hymen , mostly because of sports e.t.c. when they were younger .

YES MY HYMEN "CHERRY" WAS BUSTED BY MY BOYFRIEND (NOW HUSBAND) WITH HIS FINGER AND I BLEED AFTERWARDS.\n\nWHEN WE HAD SEX FOR THE FIRST TIME (LIKE A WEEK LATER) I DID NOT BLEED AT ALL SO YES YOUR BOYFRIEND CAN DO THAT.\n\nTHAT GOES TO SHOW THAT YOUR HYMEN IS NOT THAT FAR UP IN YOU

There are 2 types of pelvic u/s, transabdominal and endovaginal.  Endovaginal will break a hymen as the probe is inserted into the vagina.  Depending on the situation, you can request they do only a transabdominal which is not as good.  Your doctor can also order an MRI depending on why you are getting a pelvic US in the first place\n\nGood luck

Just like it impossible to tell if a man is a virgin by inspecting his genitals, it is impossible to tell that a woman is a virgin by inspecting her genitals.\n\nThe way people used to tell if women were virgins was by inspecting the hymen in the vagina. The hymen, however, is not reliable. For one, the hymen is rarely in tact after a woman hits puberty. The hymen can break from play (slips/falls, bike riding, tree climbing, etc.). Furthermore, a woman who has a hymen is also not necessarily a virgin. Hymens vary, and some can stretch and never actually be completely in tact in the first place (a "complete" hymen, i.e. one that covers the canal entirely, would not allow passage of menstrual fluids). So, it is possible that a woman who has had sex can have still have an "in tact" hymen.

Not always.  The idea of the hymen tearing up tends to be exaggerated.  Many women, when they reach a certain age, don't have to worry about that happening.  However, if your first time is at 15 or something like that, it might be more likely.

My dear,\nEvery female will have hymen. Hymen is basically a thin membrane at the entrance of the vaginal canal. In majority of the girls, the hymen gets removed during playing, cycling or any other exercies. The thickness of the hymen varies from female to female. Suppose, the hymen is not disrupted, girls will have pain and blood will come during the first intercourse. It all depends on how thick and the area of the hymen is. \nHope you got an answer!\nSo dont worry... \nGo ahead

Not really. The hymen could be broken for a number of reasons that are not sexual.

You shouldn't be the one to break her hymen. That's the most painful thing ever (well not really but it's not comfortable that way.) Tell her to switch to tampons. LOL.

The hymen is a thin membrane that partially blocks the opening to the vagina. The hymen can break for any number of reasons. It can separate by inserting a tampon, when the body is stretched strenuously, like in sports and horseback riding and sometimes it will tear for no apparent reason at all. While it is common for some slight bleeding and slight pain to accompany the separation of the hymen, many women experience the process without even noticing it.  Even if your hymen breaks through other activities, you are still considered a virgin if you have not had sexual intercourse.

This can often happen upon your first sexual contact. You are stretching the walls of your Vagina  and there may well be some trauma to them which cause a little bleeding. It should only be spot bleeding however and if it is any more than that I would go see my doctor. I'm not sure if it is possible to break your Hymen through finger contact however. If you feel pain or consistent bleeding, or even if you feel uncomfortable, go see your Dr. just to feel reassured. Good luck

You are a virgin until you are penetrated (de-flowered) by way of a penis.\n\nThe breaking of the hymen can occur at any age through a wide variety of everyday activities.
