The hymen, medically known as ‘hymen’, is a thin layer of tissue at the entrance of the vagina. It may have a different shape and structure in every woman; in some women, it may be congenitally missing or may become flexible over time. Although the hymen is a structure with various cultural and social meanings, it does not have any functional importance from a medical point of view. It is generally believed to be torn during the first sexual intercourse, but it can also be damaged by sports, tampon use or other reasons.
