okay, so I know that I have a septate hymen, which is kind of like a little band of skin I guess...(okay I know more about it than that but I'm generalizing (: )Anyway, I know you can have it surgically removed, but I really don't want anyone to do anything to that region of my body unless it's life-threatening. I've been looking this issue up a lot lately (ever since I've been having sex-technically-with my boyfriend and he noticed and pulled on it and got me thinking it prolly wasn't normal). I've heard it hurts a lot and bleeds some to get it cut, but if I leave it alone it could snap during sex? Is there any way I could leave it alone without anything bad happening? If it stretches, could I just push it to the side before having sex?
thanks for any help!
So long as it isn't causing you pain
during sex you don't have to get it
corrected. It won't cause any other
medical problems. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
