i just had my first pap, at 22 years old. i was worried about my hymen breaking but even though the pap was uncomfortable, my gyno said my hymen is still there. be sure to tell your gyno so they can use a smaller speculum--mine switched once she realized my hymen wasn't torn.
Well you dont break it the doctor does. Sometimes he just stretches it.

Yes it certainly can. In many cases the speculum will just stretch the hymen out of the way. It is quite rare for the hymen to actually be a problem during the pap smear.

Because a pap smear requires the use of a speculum, it's possible that the procedure could break the hymen. Talk about your concerns with your health care provider.
