Hymen: A thin membrane which completely or partially occludes the vaginal opening. The hymen is a fold of mucous membrane usually present at birth at the orifice of the vagina. It is also called the vaginal membrane (or, sometimes, the virginal membrane).
"Hymen" is a Greek word meaning "skin" or "membrane." The ancient Greeks applied the word to all kinds of membranes including, for example, the membrane that surrounds the heart (the pericardium). Starting in the 1500s the word was restricted to refer only to the vaginal membrane.
I think a doctor can check to see if it's still in place.

The hymen is what is called the "cherry" in street terms. Your OBGYN can tell you if you still have it.

Something you should cherish and protect. Something you should only allow to be taken from you by your future husband.

a virgin has one,KEEP IT AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
at the first sexual experience it will be gone(cherry popped)and never return.
