A medical doctor simply identified as Chioma has revealed how worried the mother of a 17-year-old girl was when she opened up to her concerning her daughter’s inability to menstruate.
According to tweets shared on Dr Chioma’s wall, she had told the woman that her child would have to lose her virginity through a medical procedure that involved the breaking of her hymen to enable her to menstruate.
The teen is said to have what is called an “imperforate hymen” (a congenital disorder where a hymen without an opening completely obstructs the vagina), which has been a barrier to the flow of menstrual blood.
“Madam, on examination, we discovered your daughter has an imperforate hymen. This means the hymen is blocking the vagina completely and so, nothing coming from up can come down, including her menses and Ovulation discharge, hence the fluid collection,” Chioma explained to the woman.
The doctor’s response, however, caused a lot of trauma to the woman as she thought about what people would say when her baby girl is deflowered.
"So Dr, you want to disvirgin my 17yr old Daughter?"
The way she put it.?
"Not really Ma, to treat, we have to break her Hymen. She has IMPERFORATE HYMEN. That's why she hasn't menstruated. Absence of Hymen doesn't make her less a virgin, some are born w/o it?"

“Why me? Doc what can cause this? What will people say? So this young girl will just lose her virginity like that?” she exclaimed.
Mother: "Why me? Doc what can cause this? What will people say? So this young girl will just loose her virginity like that?"
I had some words to say to her, but I just sha took a sip from my zobo bottle.

" Ma'am, sorry to ask. Which is more vital to you? That your daughter be treated to let out all the menstrual fluid that has been accumulated or that she keep the hymen for a guy who might not be worth it in the end?? Also Ma, What really is virginity?"
