test” result |
Tested virgin |
True positive intact hymen |
Type I error False positive Main reasons: Elasticity of the hymen (certain types) i. e. the hymen regains its shape after inserting a penis Healed hymen tear Post-coital healing of the hymen with no or hardly detectable scarring Anatomical abnormalities of the vulva Diseases of the vulva including sexually transmitted diseases and other infections Constriction of the perineal muscles (voluntary or unconscious) visibly bringing the torn tissue together Induced vaginal tightness Inserted object faking hymen (so called fake hymen) Post-coital reconstruction of the hymen hymen darning hymen stitching or hymen mending aka hymenorrhaphy, or reconstructive hymenoplasty |
| Not tested virgin |
Type II error False negative Main reasons: Persistent
hymenal non-coital dilatation (digital, instrumental) |
True negative Persistent hymenal post-coital dilatation i. e. the hymen remains stretched after inserting a penis Hymenal post-coital laceration i. e. the hymen has not been healed after tearing with a penis or has been healed with detectable scars |

Typical
tornable / stretchable hymens can be torn with finger(s),
object(s), and
penis(es)
and if torn they remain torn and present notches / clefts or
they
heal with
scars hardly detectable
without specialist testing techniques

Typical
tornable / stretchable hymen
as regards their value in professional
virginity testing
are described below.
Stretching the
elastic hymen with a
finger or
an object does not end virginity.
Stretching the
elastic hymen with a
penis
ends virginity.
Because
the elastic hymen regains it shape sooner or later after
stretching(s)
the regular medical examination results are inconclusive,
some
specialist testing techniques are available though.

Typical elastic hymen
Fraud-proof hymen - halat hymen

The imperforate,
cribriform, and septate hymens frequencies of occurrence differ
considerably
due to variety of interrelated genetic and environmental
factors influencing the reproductive system development.



Beware those who rely solely upon non-professional virginity testing.
The Dark Ages of the Third Millennium witness great progress in popularity
of the obscurant medieval procedure to trick the groom, i. e. hymenorrhaphy.
| What do doctors know about
hymens? How doctors, midwives, nurses and other medical practitioners can verify virginity? Andreas Vesalius, the founder of
modern human anatomy, in the 16th century, was the first to use ‘hymen’
specifically for the membrane of the vaginal opening. Vesalius belonged to a family of
physicians, and represented the fifth generation in that profession (cf. Andreas Vesalius, a Bio-bibliographic Study by I
Norwich, Surgeon, Edenvale Hospital, Transvaal in S. A. Medical Journal. 29 April 1967). In
his vast writings, only tree instances of mentioning the hymen can be
found. The first time in: Epistola rationem modumque propinandi radicis Chynae decocti, quo nuper inuictissimus Carolus V. Imperator usus est, A pertractans. Basel: Johannes Oporinus, October 1546. Andreas Vesalius Letter on the
China Root, 1546 ![]() Vesalius wrote: "When I had returned from my visit to
France I was invited by the physician of the Countess of Egmont to attend the
autopsy of an eighteen-year-old girl of noble birth who, because of an enduring
paleness of complexion and difficulty in breathing – although otherwise of
agreeable ppearance – was thought by her uncle to have been poisoned. Since the
dissection had been undertaken by a thoroughly unskilled barber I could not keep
my hand from the work, although except for two crude dissections lasting three
days, which I had seen at school in Paris, I had never been present at one. From
constriction of the thorax by a corset the girl had been accustomed to wear so
that her waist might appear long and willowy, I judged that the complaint lay in
a compression of the torso around the hypochondria and lungs. Although she had
suffered from an ailment of the lungs, yet the astonishing compression of the
organs in the hypochondria appeared to us to be the cause of her ailment, even
though we found nothing that would indicate strangulation of the uterus except
some swelling of the ovaries. After the attendant woman had left to shed their
corsets as quickly as possible and the rest of the spectators had departed, in
company with the physician I dissected the girl's uterus for the sake of her
hymen. The hymen, however, was not entirely whole but had not quite disappeared,
as I have found is usually the case in female cadavers in which one can barely
the place where it had been. It looked as
if the girl had ripped the hymen with her fingers either for some frivolous
reason or according to Rhaze's prescription against strangulation of the uterus
without the intervention of a man." (explanation here) Two more instances of mentioning the hymen by Vesalius can be found in 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica', 1543, republished in 1555, according to I Norwich 'the first major work of science in the modern manner and it lays the foundations of the modern disciplines of human and comparative anatomy. Vesalius wrote: "I found a hymen in [a hunchback girl of seventeen], as well as in the nun at least thirty-six years old...” Source: Andreas Vesalius of Brussels, 1514-1564 by Charles Donald O'Malley *** How it is five centuries after Vesalius? All babies should be routinely
examined immediately after delivery and the newborn record should
document congenital anomalies and anatomical variants, including the type of
hymen, what is necessary taking into account high incidence of the imperforate
hymen (in some populations more than 1 in a thousand of newborns) that requires
a small surgical intervention as soon as possible after birth to enable
undisturbed development of the genital tract. Obstetricians, midwives and any
other birth attendants are most often the only ones who see the intact hymens in
a population defined by delivering women's patient selection. Child and adolescent gynecologists, sometimes pediatricians or just family doctors, nurses / general practitioners / school doctors are the second group who can see the hymen while examining their female patients up to 18 years of age [International Convention on the Rights of the Child adopted by the UN General Assembly on 20 November 1989: a child means every human being below the age of eighteen years] for variety of genital ailments. The patient record should document the type of hymen and its wholeness before and after examination. No need to mention how important is to respect patient's privacy and dignity as well as to maintain security of medical records. The same applies to gynecologists, dermatologists and venerologists who see juvenile and adult patients. Each medical practitioner may have a strong opinion about frequency of different types of hymens and incidence of hymenal injuries among patient sub-groups seen (age, ethinicty, religion, virginity presumably preserved or lost) but the bias (due to patient selection and the sensitive nature of sexual behaviour) is so bad that such a clinical "epidemiology"proves nothing else but anecdotal evidence. Forensic medicine specialists is the third group who can see the hymen and the first one to produce objective information for use in the legal system. In case of rape, incest or any other sexual crime revealed, the victim's hymen examination professionality sometimes can be a matter of life and death. As indicated above, the type I error (false positives) or type II error (false negatives) rates of non-professional examination of the hymen can be astonishingly high and haphazardly support false denials and false allegations. Additional and not uncommonly decisive evidence may be obtained from forensic examination of medical records kept in outpatient clinics and hospitals attended by the alleged victim of the sexual crime. The outdated definitions of rape focused (and in many legal systems still do) on vaginal penetration or even sexual intercourse and the integrity of the hymen was and still is critical in the diagnosis of female sexual abuse. New definitions of rape: "the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim"(FBI 2012) and "a physical invasion of a sexual nature committed on a person under circumstances which are coercive" (International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda 1998) reflect the progressive and genuine respect for moral, psychological, and physical integrity of each human person. |

The
eyes: the mirrors of the soul.
The cheeks: the thrones of modesty. Les yeux : les miroirs de l'âme. Les joues : les trônes de la pudeur. "L'on nomme les joues les trônes de la pudeur parce que la pudeur rougit cette partie du visage, comme la crainte en rougit le haut, la colère les extrémités, et ainsi des autres passions; et, celle-ci étant plus ordinaire au sexe qui rougit souvent d'entendre dire ou de voir faire les choses qui lui plaisent le plus, on appelle les joues les trônes de la pudeur, parce qu'elle y règne avec empire."
