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'm a bit worried because I got my last period on July 23rd, but I still haven't gotten it again. I took a urine test, but it came back negative. I've started taking Cyclenorm E and P, 6 tablets per day for the past 2 days. How long does it usually take for periods to start after this?

your period may occur within 3-7 days. This can vary depending on your individual response to the medication. However, if your periods do not start within this time frame or if you experience any side effects, it is important to consult with your doctor.
