Breaking the hymen
Is it safe enough to break my hymen in the age of 17 ?
are you talking about doing it yourself, or do you mean having sex with a man? Whatever, if it causes you discomfort (the hymen) then by all means!

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
In rare cases, young women have an esp strong hymen, which requires a doctor's help, but the large majority of women's hymens "break" all by themselves, through horseback riding, bike riding, gymnastics, and other sports. Make sure your hymen really is intact, and that you recognize the difference between your hymen and your cervix before you try to break anything you can't see clearly! If it is intact, it may be "imperforate" which means it is unusually thick. If that is the case, a doctor needs to open it in a quick, easy procedure, in sterile environment.
