I was wondering this because all the websites I researched said they were rare and uncommon. I've always known there was something "off" down there, but until I found those websites I didn't know what it was. Now I feel incredibly self conscious about my body like I'm some freak mutant.

My boyfriend told me he doesn't mind and that he doesn't see a problem with it. We've had sex and its still there, which makes it even worse because it gets in the way sometimes and its even more embarrassing than it is already,

So do you know how uncommon they are and any ways I can feel less freak like? I think I just need some reassuring advice.

A septate hymen sometimes is formed when the hymenal ring does not completely resolve and leaves a "vertical band of tissue" in front of the vaginal opening. Many times this "band of tissue" is flexible and can be stretched gently. This will allow you to pushed aside the tissue to allow insertion of tampons. If the tissue is not flexible or too thick to allow insertion of tampons, the tissue can be easily excised with outpatient surgery or sometimes even in the clinic with local anesthesia (depending how much tissue needs to be removed). The surgery will not cause any harm to future fertility or sexual intercourse. If you are very embarrassed about this, you can have this removed. And if you are not willing to ask your parents about this procedure, you may wait until age 18, when you can make your own medical decisions. If you are able to see your doctor, you can have this examined and ask him or her questions about it.
It's not as unusual as you might think. You need to decide what you would like to do, it doesn't sound like your boyfriends minds.

they aren't common, but they're not abnormal either. If its interfereing and sex isn't breaking it, you do have the option of a short and simple procedure at the doc's. basically he'll just sever it. no big deal. You're CERTAINLY not a freak and shouldn't feel that way and i GUARANTEE your guy doesn't think theres anything wrong with you either. it's likely that eventually sex will snap that little band, but like I said, a doctor can do it for you very simply, which may be an especially appealing option if you are self concious about it. good luck!

Your body is beautiful. It's a work of art. Obviously the man in your life agrees to that. I don't know if you should have anything DONE, about it. Any surgery to your genitals usually does more harm than good in the end. Just try and relax. Enjoy the good things that you and your partner can do. Don't be so anxious about the things that aren't NORMAL, per say. Just enjoy your body, and your life....HAVE FUN!!!!
