A thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal entrance of most females at birth; although an intact hymen is sometimes erroneously thought to prove virginity, it can actually be broken by many activities besides intercourse.

Hymen (Sexual Health)

Hymen (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

A thin piece of skin that stretches over the opening of the vagina. There is a small opening in it to let blood flow out of the vagina during a period.

Some girls are even born without a HYMEN.
