Answers:

A pelvic or GYN exam should not tear open your hymen. The hymen is not affected by a gental pelvic exam with a small metal speculum.

The hymen is a small translucent membrane that partly covers the vaginal opening in most women. After puberty, due to changes in hormonal levels, the hymen becomes highly elastic and stretchable. Because of this elasticity the speculum, a small metal or plastic tool used during the internal exam, will not tear the hymen. For women who have never had anything in their vaginas, the smallest specula are used. These, Pederson specula, are about the same length as your index finger. Health Services is supplied with these speculums. Patients tend to think a plastic speculum will be more comfortable, the fact is that metal ones come in sizes much smaller and narrower than the smallest plastic speculum.

It is important to remeber that the speculum should not hurt regardless if whether or not you have ever had anything in your vagina before. Should you experience any discomfort during your exam be sure to communicate with your practitioner, let her know what you are feeling. Remember you are in complete control.
