My wife and I got married last month but we haven't been able to have sex because her hymen is too thick. Every time we try, it's really painful for her. We've tried multiple times but it's not working. Is there a specialist who can help remove or break the hymen surgically or through some other procedure?

please consult your gynecologist.
