The hymen is also referred to as a girl's "cherry" or maidenhead.
The tissues of the vulva are generally very thin and delicate prior to puberty.
Any activity that places tension on the vulvar tissues may stretch or tear the hymen.
As a result, many girls and teens tear or otherwise dilate their hymen while engaging in physical activities such sports, horseback riding, inserting and removing tampons, and while mas*urbat*ng.
A girl may not know this has occurred, since there may be little or no blood loss or pain experienced during this event. It may also occur when she is too young to remember or understand what has occurred.
The presence or absence of a hymen in no way indicates a girl's virginal state.
No one can determine by physical examination alone whether a woman or teen has engaged in vaginal intercourse.
Only about 50% of teens and women experience bleeding the first time they have intercourse, so blood stained bed sheets are not a reliable indicator of prior virginity. The hymen of some women tear on more than one occasion.
There are even hymen that are elastic enough to permit a pen*s to enter without tearing, or tear only partially. This is usually true only if the dilation first occurs very gradually with fingers or other objects over an extended period of time.
Virginity is a spiritual attribute, not a physical one.
The hymen does not magically disappear when something is inserted into the vagina, it will only stretch or tear sufficiently to permit entry of whatever is being inserted. If for example, a teen inserts two fingers into her vagina while mas*urbat*ng, her hymen may still tear when she has vaginal intercourse for the first time, since the average pen*s is larger than her two fingers.
A woman who has had vaginal intercourse may still have hymeneal tissue present; this remaining tissue can be the cause of pain during intercourse.
If a woman's current partner has a larger pen*s than her prior partners, or a couple tries a new technique or position during intercourse, her hymen may tear again, or for the first time. When doctors examine preadolescent and adolescent girls for evidence of sexual abuse, they look for injuries to the hymen; the hymen may still be intact except for a single tear. Remnants of the hymen are usually present until a woman delivers a baby vaginally.
The way to avoid pain and bleeding is to slowly and gently stretch the hymen and vagina prior to engaging in intercourse. It seems if the normal course of sexual development occurs, the hymen would be slowly and painlessly dilated long before intercourse occurred for the first time.
