    Question

    I have been fingered, I didn't bleed. I need to have my hymen intact for cultural reasons. I want to know whether my hymen is intact or not. Is it possible to know that and to know whether I'll bleed when I have my first sexual intercourse? Thanks, I really need help.

    Answer

    You could ask your doctor to look.
