No, the hymen can't grow back once it's been stretched open.

I've just started taking Primolut N 5 mg twice a day to delay my period, but it still began today. I'm not sure if I should keep taking the pills or stop. Is there any chance that my period might stop if I continue with them? And if I decide to quit, what happens with the two pills I've already taken? I'm really confused about what to do next.

Since your period has already started, its likely best to stop taking the Primolut-N. The tablets youve already taken may have a mild effect on the flow and duration, but they wont stop your period now. If you continue to have concerns or if you experience abnormal bleeding, its important to check with your doctor for personalized advice.
