Did I break my hymen? I'm afraid my Mom will think I'm up to stuff...?

Question

I was biking and I went over a bump really hard when I was 11...I fell off, and, this was before I had my period. After, I bled a little at it just felt...different. O.o I dunno. But now I'm concerned if I go to a gynecologist later on she'll think I'm sexually active and tell my mom.

Answer 1

First of all, the gynecologist is not allowed to tell your mum, you could sue them for that. And the gynecologists are not able to tell for sure if you are a virgin or not. Plus when your hymen is broken, it doesnt dissapear, the shape of it just slightly changes. So the gynecologist won't be sure if it was always like that or not. Lastly, i just want to add that if you are still worried, just say to your mum, ''hey do you think my hymen broke?" and tell her what happened, and tell her that u didnt think it was important or not to tell her

Answer 2

Your hymen is quite far up i doubt that it broke with any actual penetration. I'd say it isnt broken, and that you bled because when you fell it bumped your v****a.

Answer 3

its fairly common for girls involved in athletics to have this happen so dont worry about it.

Answer 4

I have no idea if you did or not.

They wouldn't tell your mother. One. They know that a hymen can break with out having s*x. Two. Something like that is between you and your doctor.

Answer 5

yeah, lots of athletic girls tear their hymens that way

also, just using a tampon can tear ur hymen

since ur first gyno visit is not till ur 18 or sexually active, i don't think you'll have to worry.

even if the gyno found out u were sexually active, there is a confidentiality thing between u and the doctor, so don't worry about ur mom finding anything out :]

Answer 6

It sounds like it, but girls break hymens doing all kinds of things like that, exercise, injury, etc.  

There is absolutely NO WAY for a doctor to tell if you are a virgin or not.  

Answer 7

Don't worry a bit about it. I'm a virgin and just went to the Gyn. for the first time and mine was already broken. They said most girls are just because of how active they are now days. I've never even used a tampon. They treated me very nice and weren't surprised at all. as a matter of fact they commended me on being a virgin

Answer 8

You probably did break your hymen. But don't worry. A gynaecologist should know that it can be broken and you not have s*x. Also, due to confidentiality laws they can't tell your mother. Don't stress.

Answer 9

There's this thing called doctor/patient confidentiality.  When you go to the gynecologist and tell him/her anything in confidence, they can't tell your parents unless it's life-threatening.

Plus, I'm sure they'd believe you.  That kind of thing happens to a lot of people.
