Multiple Tears Possible: A 16-year-old female's hymen can tear more than once. It is a thin membrane that can stretch or tear due to various activities.
Causes of Tearing: Activities such as sports, tampon use, medical exams, or other physical activities can cause the hymen to stretch or tear.
Healing: The hymen can heal partially but may not return to its original state.

If there are concerns about pain or bleeding, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable for personalized advice.

I've been noticing some vaginal discharge about 10 days after my periods. It's sometimes transparent, other times white, and has a bit of a smell. I don't have any pain or itching, so I'm not sure what this could mean. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm about 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant and the only symptom I've had has been tender breasts. But for the last two days, the pain has completely disappeared, and my breasts feel just like they did before I was pregnant. Is this disappearing symptom normal, or could it mean something's wrong? This is my first pregnancy, and I'm feeling pretty anxious. My first scan is due on October 8th. What should I expect?
