Pelvic not performed since hymen intact

Has anyone gone for a Gyno exam and did not get a full pelvic because the doctor noticed that your hymen was still intact?

I had a girlfriend that said in her early years going to a gynecologist that he didn't perform the full exam since she still had her hymen intact.

Due to gyn problems starting around age 10 I had many gyn type exams. My hymen was intact until age 15 so those prior were done rectally. Something I absolutely detested.

My hymen wasn't intact when I had my first exam. I lived with different relatives and most of them didn't care what I did or where I went. I had already lost my virginity at 15 before my first exam.

My aunt was a nurse and was there for my first exam. She wasn't in the room when the doctor asked me if I had already had sex. I didn't realize until years later that she probably knew I wasn't a virgin since the doctor did an internal exam and inserted a speculum. He didn't do a rectal exam.

Yah it certainly didn’t stop mine.

Yes my first exam I didn't get a speculum. We had discussed already that I was a lesbian and hadn't been penetrated at all.

She just looked at my vulva including pulling my labia minora back to look at my vaginal opening.

It felt like she pinched each lip between her thumb and fore finger to get a good grip and then pulled them really wide.

She commented that my crescent hymen was intact and that an exam wasn't necessary.

I got a virgin duck beak up my vagina a few years later after i'd been fingered and had my hymen stretched.

@Annie204

how old were you? what were you emotions during your exam?

@Annie204 and others

Remember that the placement of the speculum is essentially necessary to be able to take a smear or a sample.

For a woman who has not yet had sex with a boy, there is nothing urgent. We can therefore respect the virginity of the hymen for a few years.

You should know that the precursor of cervical cancer is HPV which is sexually transmitted, so in theory if no sexual relationship, no risk of HPV.

In case of particular pain or disturbing discharge, we will proceed to a surgical rupture of the hymen (a quick stroke of the scalpel without pain) to go and look at the source (often a mycosis)

As soon as your relationship, even with a girl, will lead you to very precise touching and the introduction of at least one finger into the vagina, your hymen will be broken. There will therefore no longer be any reason to abstain, nor any obstacle to inserting a speculum and performing a vaginal examination.

Do not forget that the HPV virus can lodge in the throat and the practice of cunnilungus or the simple lubrication by sucking her fingers of your female partner can be a source of transmission.

What are you talking about!

There is no need for a surgical excision of a normal hymen prior to examination.

Imperforate, microperforate, cribiform bifid etc then it may be indicated but a semi lunar or annula hymen does not need a scalpel prior to digital exam, appropriate speculum choice, vaginoscope or swab.

For decades pelvic exams and paps were performed without causing pain etc on virginal patients if the physician is half competent.

No one yields a scalpal to a normal hymen because of discharge, a simple high vaginal swab (without a speculum) are done to assess for causes on patients in single figures routinely.

I am a virgin and never had sex before. But, due to my menstruation problems, I have to visit gyno office every 3-6 months. Since I am a virgin, the most they will do is transabdominal ultrasound. The doctor has told me before that if necessary, I might need to have full pelvic exam and other imaging procedure, but it will be conducted in the Operation Theatre under sedation since the exam might be painful/uncomfortable for someone who never had vaginal penetration (I noticed they put on my medical note KIV EUA, Exam Under Anaesthesia).
