The cost to check if the hymen is intact is very low, around$10-$20. The examination of the hymen for rupture is very simple and only requires an internal gynecological examination. The patient needs to empty her bladder and lie down on the examination table while the doctor observes with the naked eye to see if the woman’s hymen is intact and if there is a rupture. If there is a rupture, the location of the rupture can be determined, as well as the hymenal rupture, whether it is newly created or old. If a woman is simply checking to see if her hymen is intact, there is no need to determine if it is old or newly created, as long as there is a rupture it is incomplete. In criminal or other cases involving sexual assault, it is important to determine more clearly whether the hymen rupture is new or old.
