Im 15 and a virgin, and recently I had a look on websites to see what hymens should look like. I understand that everyone is different and stuff, but I dont think mines right.
This gallery shows all different types, they're cartoon diagrams -
mine is not like any of these
DOwn there everything else is normal, and when I spread my lips apart I can see my hymen, and the opening hole, but not only does the hole change size every now and then, my actual hymen seems to bulge out
I've never known anything different, so I dont know wether its "uncomfortable" or not,get me?
I drew a picture on paint to try and describe it
I've started my period when I was ten, and since then I've been irregular and recently over the past 1 1/2 years I've calmed down a bit, steady flow for about 5 days. Im strong and fit and have no other problems
Im also aware that when you first have sex it hurts because of the hymen, and eventualy the hymen breaks or wears away . . .
Mine is quite chunky and thick, could it be I have a problem? what should I do? this is incredibly worrying for me, please help :(
and sorry about all the explicitness, this is just really frightening for me and I want to sort it . .. .

You are right, there is a great variation in the appearance of genitalia...
And at your age, it is normal to be interested in your appearance.
However, your concern about how tough the hymen may be is a little premature... assuming that you're not about to have sex.
You may find some comfort in speaking with a nurse or a medical clinic person, like a doctor or a birth control specialist.
The are things that can be done to make sex easier, or remove the difficulty in tearing the hymen. However, these steps are normall not taken until after a woman is married or expected to be sexually active.
I'd either speak to a school health counselor or go to your family doctor with your concerns. They can do an examination and tell you whether you have an on-going concern or not. (I'm betting that it's not a concern yet, but I could be wrong! Get checked.)

Hi honey! You are TOTALLY normal! The hymen can be so thin a sneeze will rip it or it can be thicker! It also can be about what you weigh as well! The hymen isn't really needed, but for certain nationalities or religions it is VERY important to show that a woman is a virgin when married! Thus some women have theirs reconected! So yours is your own personal part of your anatomy! Just like the color of your eyes, and the mole on your cheek - just incase you have one! Be proud that yours is intact and healthy and that you still have your virginity, I think it is a great thing that more and more girls are remaining virgins longer and longer! I know at your age, you pick out certain things about yourself and think if it is normal etc, just know that you are a healthy NORMAL young woman, and this IS you!! Be thankful for your body, and feel strong in knowing that it does it's job for your 24/7 and is a beautiful creation all it's own!! Be proud of yourself honey, and just take great pleasure in that OK? And also know EVERY woman on this planet is different down there, so when you look at pictures on the internet or in magazines etc, they are just showing you a patient or a model! And the one good thing about you getting to know your body is that in the future, when you start seeing a gynecologist etc, you will know IF anything is different! It's a wonderful thing to be a woman honey! So just enjoy it OK?
