1 | Many people are under the impression that the hymen is located within the vagina. | |
2 | Since you're a virgin and a woman, you may be feeling discomfort from your hymen. | |
3 | The thin layer of tissue that conceals the vagina at this time usually divides incompletely prior to birth, forming the hymen. | |
4 | Re-connecting the tissue of the hymen takes about 30 minutes under local anaesthetic. | |
5 | Sometimes this formation of an opening does not occur, resulting in an imperforated hymen (it lacks the more common opening). |
