If you're asking what the definition of hymenotomy is, it literally means "to cut into the hymen."
Some hymens are delicate and will break (with a variable amount of pain) during sports or other strenuous physical activity, or when inserting a tampon. Some do not break until their owner's first experience of penetrative vaginal intercourse or sex toy usage.
However, some are too thick to break easily or at all, and some heal whenever stretched or torn. This problem can be addressed by the surgical procedure of hymenotomy. While a hymenotomy consists of making incisions in the hymen tissue to widen its aperture, a similar procedure called a hymenectomy is a complete removal of the hymen.
In effect, there is little difference between the two procedures--the recovery process is the same, with the exception of the fact that stitches (absorbable sutures) are required by a hymenectomy and not by a hymenotomy. Undergoers of either procedure tend to report improved comfort with inserting tampons or otherwise penetrating their vagina.

Is it bad if you brake your hymen?
When a girl breakes her Hymen, that means she has lost her virginity. Though some break it drone doing day to day activities, most break it during the first time they have sex. As the Hymen is broken, blood flows out and minor pain occurs. Men say it hurts to break a woman's hymen. But like every non- virgin woman, they say only the first time kind of hurts, then you'll get used to it.
Can a pregnancy test tell whether you are a virgin or not?
No. Checking for 'virginity' (in its clinical term) would require a medical exam to determine whether the hymen is intact. However, this cannot be a confirmation as to whether a woman has or has not had sexual relations. Girls quite regularly can have their hymens torn or rupture through everyday activities such as sports. Hymens can also become ruptured through the insertion of foreign objects or even, in some instances, during personal hygiene, such as using tampons, washing, (douches), etc. Additionally, the hymenal membrane may need to be corrected to assist with normal menstruation or as a precursor to anticipated sexual intercourse. A Hymenectomy (hymenotomy) is a minor medical procedure involving the surgical removal or opening of the hymen. It is done to treat an imperforate hymen or other situations where the hymen is unusually thick or rigid, in order to allow normal menstruation or sexual intercourse. An imperforate hymen can lead to hematometra or hematocolpos. In some cultures, so misunderstood is the female body by both men and women that extreme measures are taken to ensure that a woman encounters discomfort, pain, and even blood, during the first act of intercourse. It's a sad fact that in some cultures, due to the ignorance of an individual or an entire society, that people have paid to have a hymen reconstructed. There have even been anecdotal reports of women deliberately injecting animal blood into their vaginas as proof that a wedding was consummated and that the wife was a virgin. Family members deliberately inspect bed linens in search of blood as proof. Hopefully, through education, and common sense, these absurdities will soon disappear.
How much pain is felt from the Hymen breaking?

What is hymen in girls?
first answer... Yes. (1. Sort of ... they come in many variations, none of which are very important unless it's imperforate (i.e. no opening). second... (2. hey, i am 12 and i haven't had my piriod and i haven't had sex (OF COURSE! lol) but the first time i tried, i successfully fingered myself and it didn't hurt. i didn't bleed, and i felt no hymen. a hymen is a flap of skin over the vaginal opening. so, i think it is very possible that most girls do, but i didn't, so i guess some don't. so, not always do you have a hymen. (3. i am not sure weather all girls do or not, but i think so. when i was seven, i was riding my horse bareback going over a small jump, and i think i broke my hymen because when i got home, my underwear was a little bloody and while landing the jump on the horse, i felt funny... kinda discomfort, but weirder... and when i bled in my undies, i know it was not my period because it was only that time. so i can't give you an answer, but i think this is helpful, because i am basically telling you that riding a bike, a horse, sports, and tampons are all ways of breaking a hymen, so people might think they don't have one and it might seem like they don't, but it could just be broken already. so, you can break one with out sex.
Do tampons break your hymen?
Yes, any penetration of the vagina can tear or break the hymen, depending on the hymen's shape and thickness. Sometimes strenuous sports can break it. A finger, a tampon, a sex toy, or a penis might break it. However, some hymens are simply too thick to break or substantially stretch without a great deal of effort and pain, in which case you may want to consider a hymenotomy (incision which widens the opening) or a hymenectomy (complete removal of the hymen).No it's too small. But if you do some hard fiscal activity then yes it's possible.Yes,it can break your hyman and you will know when it happens many other things can break it aswell.
