Rapper T.I. recently shared he goes to the gynecologist with his daughter every year to ‘check her hymen.’ Why do American doctors continue to do this?
No medical procedure exists that can prove if a woman—or a man, for that matter—is a virgin. Yet, almost 500 years after the hymen was first “discovered,” myths about it remain widespread globally. We set out to dispel them.The hymen is a membranous tissue found near the entrance of the vagina, but it does not usually completely cover it like a seal. Most women have hymen tissue that surrounds the entrance of the vagina, forming roughly a doughnut or crescent shape.
In rare cases, a woman might have an imperforate hymen, which blocks the vaginal canal; a microperforate hymen, in which there is a very small opening; a septate hymen, in which there are two small openings; or a cribriform hymen, in which there are many small openings. These rare conditions make it difficult to menstruate, use tampons, or have sex, and they may require minor surgery. But, for most women, the hymen won’t impact daily life at all.Reality: The hymen's purpose is unknown.
Some women experience bleeding or minor discomfort as a result of tissue tearing the first time they have sex—this could also be due to anxiety or lack of necessary lubrication and stimulation—but many do not. Despite this, many women are expected to bleed the first time they have sex, which has traditionally been during the wedding night. Often, whether or not a woman bleeds, or bleeds enough according to what’s expected, is directly linked to her value.
