from where do we get our periods(menses)  even if our hymen is not broken?

The hymen is a membrane that covers the vaginal opening before a woman's first intercourse. It is not, however, a solid mass of tissue; it has perforations in it. Often, the entire central portion of the hymen is open, with a thick rim of tissue all around. This allows menstrual blood to escape and tampons to be inserted without disrupting the hymen. Even heavy menstrual bleeding passes without tearing the hymen.\nRarely, the hymen is a solid wall of tissue, and this must be opened shortly after menstruation begins. If not, the blood will fill the vagina and uterus, leading to pain and -- possibly -- an increased risk of developing endometriosis.

Yes, when you have sex for the first time (lose your virginity) your hymen, which is a thin barrier in your vagina, breaks.  It's not anything major though, and the amount of blood is usually very small.  However, the exact amount does vary from female to female.

hymen doesnt always break the first time, or even the second.  Need to take lots of time, lubrication, and gentleness.  If pain persists, then could be dyspareunia, a physical/psych problem.

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

some do and some dont\nit really ought to depend on whether their hymen has already been broken do to bike riding,wearing tampons,and other physical activities.\njust because a woman doesnt bleed during their first time having sex,doesnt mean that she is not a virgin\nthe best way to find out whether they are a virgin is to ask them and if u really love her then u would believe her and u 2 will have a happy relationship. but some women do bleed and their first time may be terribly painful. but some dont and can just enjoy themselves.~GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPED!~

Just because you use a tampon dosen't mean you'll break your hymen. However, if you've already broken it you won't break it again when you have sex for the first time. Its important to remember that a lot of girls loose their hymen before their virginity. It can break very easily. I broke mine in a car accident and a friend of mine broke hers while riding a horse. Also, a lot of females have what is called a cribform hymen, which is just a lot of strings of skin stretching across the inside of your vagina. Its more then possible that IF you're tampon is reaching that far then its just going through one of the holes. If you're still concerned then maybe you should speak with your gynocologist and have them check for a hymen or have them explain things for you a little better.

Many people believe that bleeding after intercourse is a sign of virginity because it proves that the hymen  - a thin, fleshy membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening  - "broke." But not all women bleed the first time they have sex. Not only can hymen tissue simply stretch during penetration, rather than tear and bleed, but it is also very common for the hymen to rip before a woman ever has sex. Physical exercise, like riding a bike or doing gymnastics, injury to the genital area, or inserting a tampon, finger or sex toy into the vagina can all cause the hymen to split. Sometimes there will be discomfort and blood when the hymen tears, or there may be no blood or pain at all. In fact, you may not even know when your hymen breaks. \n\nOn the other hand, post-sex bleeding can occur for a variety of reasons besides a broken hymen, such as different types of infections, polyps of the cervix or abnormal cervical cells, and a tear in the vagina from vigorous sex without enough lubrication. \n\nSo, while a man might assume that a woman who bleeds after sex is a virgin, the only way for him to know for sure is if she tells him.

Sounds like spotting from her period to me. \n\nIf you were dry humping and have had no real intercourse then it's impossible that she became pregnant. The vagina is such a hostile environment that the chances of sperm making it past your underware, past hers, past the labia, and on and up is freaking impossible on levels I simply cannot verbalize. \n\nThe spot of blood *could* have been the breaking of her hymen if you guys were too rough, similar to what can occur when a virgin rides a horse. \n\nGiven no other extreme circumstances, and the assumption that you are not hiding anything (i mean why ask such a question and hide something unless you're a moron), then I am certain that she was spotting from her period. \n\nKeep in mind that spotting can occur many days before or after a period. If she has a fibroid (unlikely at her age but hey you never know) she could very well spot at any time during the month.\n\nSo yeah...not pregnant.

The only way to restore the Hymen would be surgical methods.  And, truly, there would not be virginty unless the hymen was displaced because of exercise, horse back riding etc.\n\nBut surgery is the ONLY way.

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

It sounds like this may have been your first time.  If so, it's normal to be sore for a few days, as your hymen was probably torn a little.  This is normal.  If it continues to be painful, you should see a doctor.

I had the same problem for a long while.You need to see your doctor.My problem was that my hymen was still intact.That's the piece of skin that makes you a virgin.Mine was still intact after having two children!!It was a simple in office procedure to take care of it.

I don't bleed, never have.\n\nSome girls bleed because their hymen is still intact or present. It's nothing to worry about unless it happens all the time, or it happens long after you lose your virginity.

No, your period is determined by the natural fluctuations in your hormones.  Masturbation doesn't have anything to do with how your body regulates itself.  Things that can cause a person to miss a period might be pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, hormone deficiencies, extreme exercise, anorexia/bulimia, large weight fluctuations, or severe stress.  If you've missed a period and you're not sexually active, you should probably talk to your doctor, especially if you have been overly tired.  A doctor can do a simple blood test to check for pregnancy and hormone imbalances.

OMG Girl - \n\nIt is NOT normal to bleed that long from a hymen rupture..... at least in my experience.\n\nIf you were kicked that badly you need to get to the hospital, just be sure you tell them the truth of what happened.\n\nThey will probably call the cops and IF THEY DO, then YOU be strong, because next time IT WILL BE WORSE!

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.
