I’m an intersex person, and my condition is imperforate hymen. We’re left out of the conversation or intentionally excluded a lot. (Despite literally not being born with a vaginal opening??). I’ve just felt so invalid lately, could I please have a hug?
Of course!!! You're completely valid, your condition exists and is part of our community and you shouldn't feel left out or excluded. 🫂

انواع غشاء البكارة
هناك ثلاثة أنواع رئيسية من غشاء البكارة: 1- غشاء البكارة الغشائي (Hymen): وهو النوع الأكثر شيوعاً، ويتكون من طبقة رقيقة من الغشاء المخاطي الممتد على فتحة المهبل. وقد يكون هذا الغشاء مرناً ويمتد عندما يتعرض للضغط أو الانفتاح تدريجياً عبر الزمن، والتمارين الرياضية أو الأنشطة اليومية. 2- غشاء البكارة الشرجي (Imperforate hymen): يعتبر هذا النوع نادر جداً، ويحدث عندما يكون غشاء البكارة مغلقاً…

Minors don’t read this post. Also remember that you should take this with a grain of salt because the whole chart matters. These are isolated placements

Why the 5th house represents losing your virginity
Due to derivative astrology the 5th house can tell us about our virginity being lost! This is because the 6th house represents innocence while the 12th house represents losses (using the 12th as the ascendant it would be 12,1,2,3,4,5)
You can also check your 5th house ruler for more insight on this though!
Tumblr media
What this post refers to
This post represents losing your virginity as in having sex for the first time. This does not include losing it to cucumbers, hair brushes, toothbrushes, or any other foreign items you shove in your gushy.
Tumblr media
Aries 5h
It may hurt and you may bleed a lot when losing it since Mars represents pain and blood. One person I met with this placement had what’s called an imperforate hymen and had to get it surgically removed. Although there may be physical pain though it will still be very passionate sex. The person you lose it to will have deep sexual desire for you. There will be a lot of flirtatious energy and sexual tension leading up to you losing it. You will be very turned on.
Taurus 5h
It will be a very sensual and calm experience for you. You will probably lose it to someone that you’re dating at the time since Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of romance. You could lose it somewhere very fancy and high class as well. Example: Your date could take you to a fancy hotel to lose it. This can also mean that the process is very slow since Venus is associated with sloth.
Gemini 5h
There will be healthy communication between you and the person you lose it to. You could meet the person you lose it to at school or through social media. The person you lose it to may use things they learned through p*rn so make sure to tell them that’s not realistic and tell them what you really like! I also recommend not making any s*x tapes with this placement as it can indicate getting leaked more easily than the average person.
Cancer 5h
You’re going to lose it in your house or your sexual partners house. This is a good placement to have because it can mean you will feel very comfortable and the person you lose it to will be very considerate of your feelings during s*x. However, the downside to this placement is that you could possibly get pregnant after losing it so use protection and be very careful. Something random I will add is if you don’t lose it at a house you could possibly lose it near bodies of water. Example: My friend has this placement and lost his virginity at the beach.
Leo 5h
You’re going to lose it to someone that makes you feel very confident in bed. The person you’re losing it to will be very generous toward you s*xually and praise you in bed. You weirdly could lose it in a more public place with Leo in the 5th house. With this placement you will likely leave the experience feeling very happy with how it went.
Virgo 5h
Since this sign is associated with “innocence” the person you lose it to could also be a virgin like you. The person you lose it to will make sure that you’re pleased before they are. You could possibly feel scared to because you want to be really good at it due to your perfectionism in the bedroom but remember that we all start somewhere and you will improve over time.
Libra 5h
You will lose it to someone you’re in a long term relationship with at the time/someone you’re dating since Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of romance. There will be a very flirtatious vibe between you two leading up to it and you will feel a huge romantic spark. Venus is the planet of harmony which can mean losing your virginity is actually a harmonious experience for you and goes well.
Scorpio 5h
You will lose it to someone you’re very sexually attracted to. If you’re a girl and have this placement consider yourself lucky because with Scorpio being ruled by Pluto (the planet associated with org*sms) you will likely finish your first time. Most girls don’t because they have to get the hang of things and become more comfortable in order to. The s*x between you two will be very passionate and rough. At worst with Scorpio being primarily ruled by Mars it could indicate it being a painful experience.
Sagittarius 5h
You could lose your virginity while traveling. You will lose it to someone that’s pretty experienced most likely. After losing it you may find yourself wanting to explore s*x with a lot more people. Since Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter the planet of ease this could be an experience that comes at ease for you. You could possibly lose it someone you met at college/university.
Capricorn 5h
You will lose your virginity at an older age (depending on your other s*x placements). Most of the people i’ve met with this placement lose it after 20 (the average age is 17 years old). Before losing it you could have lots of fear leading up to it due to anxiety. The person you lose it to will likely be older and have more experience than you though making you more comfortable.
Aquarius 5h
You could lose your virginity to someone you’re friends with (possibly a friends with benefits situation). This could be someone you met online since Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of technology. This could be something that is spontaneous and unexpected that you randomly decide to do. Since Uranus also represents uniqueness you could lose it in an unique location or have a very unique experience when losing it.
Pisces 5h
Majority of people that i’ve met with this placement lose it in their bed since Pisces is ruled by Neptune the planet associated with sleep. The person you lose it to will be very kind and compassionate toward your sexual needs and have strong sexual fascination with you. With this placement you could lose it to your soulmate.

Hi I'm a former high school science teacher and now a doctor. While teaching, I was officially advised to explain that current understanding of gender is that it is complex and that sex is not necessarily the same as gender. I also got told not to mention intersex people outside of explaining that they exist, because tbh 14 year olds need to understand the normal stuff first.
I can also confirm that during medical school I was officially taught that "we refer to patients as male or female because man and woman are complex terms that do not adequately describe our patient population". We also did not use the term intersex at all, we generally referred to either "sex variants" or (in newborns/paediatric patients) we would refer to "disorders of" or "differences of sexual development" (DSDs).
There's not a hard and fast difference between "disorder" of sexual development or "difference", but generally it got called a disorder if it mandated surgical correction (e.g. vaginal agenesis, cloacal exstrophy, severe hypospadias, urethral atresia etc). If you didn't have to operate to prevent irreparable harm, it usually got called a "difference". We try not to recommend operations that aren't biologically necessary, but parents are currently permitted to request them and generally it'll be approved - though if I were the surgeon (which I'm not) I would probably request a different person perform it because I am not comfortable with unnecessary genital surgeries on unconsenting children.
Medicine currently recognises that sex and gender are not synonymous, that correlation is not causation, and that intersex conditions come in a wide variety of forms and functions. We also do not have a clear idea of whether something like hypospadias or imperforate hymen even COUNT as intersex disorders, even if they're definitely DSDs, and it's not very important because "intersex" isn't really a medical term.
Thank you so much for this perspective! I'm really happy, honored, and excited that I got the opinion of a doctor on this stuff.
I do have a couple of poorly articulated, rambly thoughts here, which I hope don't come off as criticizing you, because I'm just trying to build off of what you're saying and possibly get your perspective.
"male" and "female" are still interesting terms to me, and still have some of the same pitfalls as "man" and "woman". This is purely my own opinion, I don't want to falsely represent how scientists and doctors use them, but I personally use them more frequently as adjectives for individual parts of a body. Mostly, I do this to refer to myself. Because... Am I currently male, or female? I have a typical male height, male genitalia, but female physiology, female fat distribution, female hormonal systems, etc. It's hard for people to think of biological sex as dynamic and changing, but if you want to accurately describe me, that's what I am currently.
And yeah, you can totally use male and female to refer to individuals who dominantly have those male or female traits overall. But you have to be ready to get nuanced about it- which is exactly what you're doing here, which I appreciate.
It's also somewhat useful when referring casually to hermaphroditic organisms, although by that point you're probably just using more specific terms. I digress. I'm rambling.
I have a barely-relevant tangent here that I'm gonna put under the cut. There's an interesting parallel here between another linguistic quirk of terminology in genetics.
When a gene varies by a single base pair (eg, one of the As, Ts, Cs, or Gs is something else, or has been deleted or added), it can change the function of the gene. Sometimes, this is called a mutation- which, yes it is. Mutation implies a deviation from the general population, a distinct molecular event that happened which now exists in the gene pool in small numbers.
The trouble lies with assuming what the "default" form of the gene is. When gene A is say, 50% G at a certain location, and 50% T at that spot, it's called a SNP- single nucleotide polymorphism (often pronounced as "snip").
But what's the cutoff? 80-20? 95-5? 99-1? More extreme? What about SNPs
This is purely a linguistic thing, and in scientific contexts, people know what you're talking about based on the context around the words you use.
SNP as a term has p much been around for as long as genetics as a field. Within the field, I don't think anyone cares much, except as a discussion topic to get undergrads interested. However, I do think it's important for scientific communication- mutation has a much different connotation in people's minds than SNP, a term they may have never heard or feel neutrally about. The same can be applied to sex- the way we talk about male/female traits is extremely relevant to public perception. It's very similar to the terminology you're talking about here. And I'm really glad that medicine acknowledges that!!
In general, I think that these linguistic debates can seem trivial to professionals- but it dramatically affects public perception. There's whole other rambles here about how scientists and doctors generally don't know how to talk to non-scientists and non-doctors, but that's a whole other thing.

Could you elaborate on imperforate hymens? I didn't want to derail the reblog chain to ask about it but I've never heard of this medical issue before...
An imperforate hymen essentially means that, instead of a thin, semilunar membrane surrounding the vaginal opening, there’s a thick membre extending all the way across the area a normal hymen would occupy, completely blocking the vaginal opening. It’s a congenital condition that’s usually diagnosed around puberty, because menstrual blood gets trapped and can’t pass through. It’s easily removed by a minor surgery, which is essential to the girl’s health and well-being, because trapped, rotting blood is an excellent breeding ground for infections, and being trapped in the vaginal canal gives it easy access to spread quickly and viciously. These infections can be fatal.
In rural areas of Egypt (and other similar countries) male doctors routinely refuse to perform the simple operation because, and I quote, ‘it’s best to let her die than to defile her honour’. Which is vile and demonstrates perfectly the point the OP of that post was making about the extent of doctors’ ability to gatekeep healthcare based on personal belief.

I'm writing a story and I'd like to how trans people get/treat STDs. If they haven't had bottom surgery is it no different than someone with those parts who is cis? But if they have, what differences are there? How about someone with no genitals?
In general it's pretty much the same as it would be for cis people. Bloodwork and a urine sample are the standard, and aren't really any different based on what someone's genitalia is like.
Pap smears and other sorts of exams can be dysphoria inducing as well, and there's some situation where it may be difficult to use a speculum because of atrophy (which can be for all sorts of reasons, hormones, vaginismus, imperforate hymen, intersex stuff). And people whose vaginas are surgically constructed don't typically have a cervix, so pap smears don't really get done as far as I know. (Sometimes speculums are used for other things though, like making sure everything is healing right, trimming or removing stitches from surgery, etc.)
But for the most part, the differences for STI testing specifically are mostly social, and can go different ways based on who is administering the test. Pap smears are in particular stressful for trans people who may have genitalia that's been altered by hormones. (I know it's irrational but the worry about getting a boner during a pap test, for instance, has crossed my mind a lot.)
Some other testing can be thrown for a loop because of the way procedure etiquette works. I had to have a transvaginal ultrasound once to check for ovarian cysts and there were definitely parts of it that were weird for me. (Transvaginal ultrasounds involve the ultrasound wand going inside the front hole for an accurate reading of specific parts of the reproductive system.) For instance, the ultrasound tech was a cis man and as part of their protocol, a cis woman nurse had to be in the room while I underwent this procedure. I hadn't asked about that ahead of time or really thought anything about it - I was in the emergency room trying to get to the bottom of extreme abdominal pain and I figured I could endure what I needed to. But in an ideal world, I'd be able to ask for a non cis person to be in the room with me I think. (I came in an ambulance, which would not take my partner with me.) (It turned out to be a 4mm kidney stone by the way, no ovarian cysts.)
Another anecdote that may be relevant to this topic is that sometimes doctors get weird about not knowing what you're testing for, because they don't know what body parts you have (and which were added at what points, made of what material). Prior to the transvaginal ultrasound, a doctor asked me what "chromosomes" I had. I honestly told him I did not know, I hadn't ever had a karyotype test as far as I knew. The doctor stumbled over himself a lot and I don't remember what else he said right after that, other than he was fumbling, got corrected, and that he was clearly Trying His Best. I interrupted the second or third useless question with, "are you asking if I have ovaries in case it might be a burst ovarian cyst or something?"
He was instantly relieved and said yes, so I told him.
There's a big problem I've noticed, that when people talk about these sorts of topics, they aren't specific enough in order to address what they mean. We use euphemisms like "assigned female" because people don't know that someone "assigned female" can have literally any body type. People seem afraid to name body parts, so they use euphemisms that rely on stereotypes and assumptions in order to be understood. But when you realize that people "assigned female" can be intersex, can have hysterectomies, can have testes, can have phalloplasties, and that everyone's parts are more or less analogous (skenes gland = prostate, etc), you realize how useless these broad categories are. If you want to ask if someone could carry a pregnancy, ask if they could carry a pregnancy. Not if they have certain chromosomes or were DFAB. Specifics matter. If I knew I was XY, that doctor would probably have assumed that the pattern of people with XY chromosomes not menstruating would include me. And if I did have ovarian cysts, or even a pregnancy, this could have dramatically impacted my health outcomes. (There have been stillbirths because of situations like this where people did not act fast enough because of ignorance around trans bodies.) I could have given in and guessed my chromosomes when the doctor asked, but what if my answer turned out to not be true? And what if the lack of confidence in my answer saved my life in some way?
I realize this is pretty far deviated from your original topic, but in terms of testing difficulties, it does feel like the sort of anecdote that would be very informative about these issues.

hello! i was wondering, what are your thoughts on microperforate and imperforate hymens as an intersex trait? i’ve done some research on it and there’s a lot of conflicting information, so i was curious to hear your opinion
as far as im aware, it can be an intersex trait. sydney kidney bean, on tiktok, is an intersex person with that variation. altho i believe they also have higher androgens naturally, their hymen variation is still important.
to me, intersexuality encompasses any natural sex characteristics that fall outside the sex binary norms. sometimes that can mean not having certain parts, or having parts that didn't develop as expected. i think imperformate and microperforate hymens fall under that.

Hi sex witch,
I can’t seem to find my vaginal opening. There’s just no where for a finger or tampon to go, it just feels like hitting a wall. I’ve used a mirror to see what’s going on and I can see where it should be, but there doesn’t seem to be any hole. I get my period like normal so theoretically there’s gotta be a hole but I can’t find it. Is there something going on here? All I’ve found online is stuff about the hymen, but is it possible for the hymen to seem so,, solid?
Thank you for any advice you have!
hi anon,
oh boy! what a pickle. there are rare cases of the hymen failing to naturally wear away from the vaginal opening and making penetration painful, difficult, or downright impossible. this is called an imperforate hymen, and could be what you're experiencing.
however, that wouldn't explain a barbie-like lack of opening altogether. as you've observed, if you're able to menstruate there is absolutely a vaginal opening down there somewhere. even if you're unable to put items in it easily, it is there. if you're concerned about any irregularities, getting a pelvic exam with a healthcare provider is the best way to go.

im honestly so frustrated i literally cant be penetrated at all. i think my hymen is too closed up for anything to enter YES INCLUDING FINGERS STOP TELLING ME TO START WITH THAT.
its so frustrating because i want to learn to masturbate like that but it feels so uncomfortable and its not fun. i know its NOT VAGINISMUS. the problem is literally that nothing can get past my hymen. i don't have any visible openings, my hymen doesnt look like all those stupid diagrams. i dont have an imperforate hymen because i have periods just fine. i dont know what to do.

Virginity & Marriage in Medieval Times — The “Virginity Test” and How Women “Cheated” Such Tests.
Tumblr media
Berthold Furtmeyr, The Tree of Death and Life, Munich, Germany, 1489
Throughout the ages, a woman’s virginity was a highly prized attribute and a symbol of purity. Women were expected to be free from the stain of the sin of sex before marriage. It was impossible for a woman to lose her virginity before marriage and be considered “holy” but unsurprisingly, this standard did not exist for men. Medieval Christianity told women that, as the daughters of Eve, they are responsible for the fall of mankind due to their innate sin and this heavily influenced ideas of women’s sexuality–including the importance of virginity before the holy sacrament of marriage.
As we know, you were expected to be a virgin when getting married for the first time, and to prove that the woman was indeed a virgin, they inspected the bedsheets for blood after the consummating of the marriage. (I would of been shamed/exiled/killed/whatever punishment they laid upon me back then as I did not bleed my first time 😂)
Tumblr media
Miniature from Le livre appelle Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, 1460s
What we know about the female body and modern medicine now, is that you don’t always bleed during your first time—that the hymen doesn’t always stretch/tear from your first time having sex. It can happen earlier on in life from various things, you could be born without a hymen or you could have a hymen that just doesn’t bleed, as the hymen doesn’t necessarily “tear”, it usually stretches because the hymen is a thin wall of membrane that extends across the vaginal opening but it usually has an opening (a “hole”) already in it that then stretches during sex (if it didn’t already earlier on in life) UNLESS you have an imperforate hymen which will tear and then stretch as it doesn’t have a hole in it at all.
It’s actually more common for women NOT to bleed than it is to bleed during their first time, or to bleed so little that it’s not very noticeable. The fact that a lot of women’s reputations and very lives depended on if they bled or not which was wholly out of their control, is just INSANE to me, but it’s very interesting how women dealt with this and prepared for if they didn’t bleed.
Tumblr media
Book of Hours (Cistercian), ca. 1440, Walters Manuscript W.218, fol. 28v
Women often deployed methods to make themselves bleed or fake the fact that they bled, on their wedding nights. In the Trotula (an assembly of texts on women’s medicine written in the 12th century that was widely circulated and depended upon by women up until the 16th century), such methods are listed. A “How to Cheat a Virginity Test” guide, if you will. Some suggestions being:
* Arranging the Wedding when the Bride is on her period.
* Substituting the bride with another woman when it came to consummate the marriage. (Lol—the fact that this would work a lot of times… men 🙄 😂)
*Have a vial of Goat’s blood hidden under the pillow or somewhere and dash it on the sheets when the groom is not looking.
*A mixture of Herbs to bring on a period.
* Lastly, one of the more interesting and unusual methods was to put a leech on the labia (yes, you read that correctly) a few days before hand so that it creates a wound that will then turn into a scab and then during the rigorous motion of having sexual relations, the scab falls off and bleeds. 😳
Tumblr media
Early 14th century (France), a copy of the intermediate Trotula ensemble, p. 65 (detail): pen and wash drawing meant to depict "Trotula"
Many Women were aware that ���popping your cherry” during your first time didn’t always happen, or they weren’t virgins as their religion and society so unrelentingly demanded, and the fact that the method of confirming virginity with the sight of blood upon the sheets was relied upon (the “virginity test”) for years and years just goes to show how little women’s knowledge and experience were valued back then—even when it came to their own bodies! So, women did what they always have done: take matters into their own hands.

1897 illustration of various types of hymen. The hymen is a thin piece of tissue which surrounds and sometimes partially covers the opening of the vagina. Hymens come in many different shapes and sizes, and can change throughout the course of your life. Hymens can be stretchy, thin, thick or rigid. Hymens can tear and heal in a way that they look a bit different after some injuries or giving birth (sex often does not change the hymen in any way!). Hymens can also stretch or tear from activities like horseback riding or using tampons. This doesn't change whether you're a virgin or not! Some people are born without hymens or have very small hymens. This illustration shows some of the various forms of hymen, although it has a major mistake in it! The first hymen is a "virgin hymen". It's a myth that your external anatomy changes from having had sex, and you CANNOT tell by looking at someone's hymen if they've had sex or not. This harmful myth has led to invasive practices called "virginity testing" or "hymen repair" which force women and girls to undergo medically unnecessary examinations or surgery to "prove" virginity. Most variations of hymens are perfectly normal and natural and harmless. However, some might require medical intervention. Imperforate hymens, where the hymen completely covers the vaginal entrance, are dangerous and surgery is necessary so that period blood can leave the body. Microperforate or septate hymens (numbers 6 and 7 in the illustration) may also require surgery so you're able to use tampons. Image from "An American text-book of obstetrics. For practitioners and students" by Norris and Dickinson, 1897.

امبارح وسط الـ14 ساعة شغل نزلت ساعة لأصحابي والكلام جاب بعضه لعدة مواضيع شائكة؛ ١) الأزمة السياسية والإقتصادية اللي احنا فيها وأسبابها الي الواحد نبح زوره فيها بقاله عشر سنين، وإيه تصوري لطريقة الخروج من الزنقة دي بعد عشر سنين تانيين كدا وعليكم خير، ٢) والسكس ودوره كغريزة أساسية ومحفّز قوي وأساسي لغريزة البقاء وإن قلّته مخليانا عايزين نموت كاچ كدا، ٣) والتخصصات الطبية وليه مش حابب أتخصص نسا وتوليد مهما كان العائد بالنسبالي، وامتى وإزاي ابتديت أتحوّل من شخص مدافع عن الحقوق والحريّات بشكل عام كدا لـ hardcore feminist وازاي بدأت أكوّن آراء فيها معارضة وعداء شديدين للدستور والقانون المصري لما ذاكرت طب شرعي في سنة رابعة طب، وشرحتلهم تعامل القانون مع حالتين وهما أ) إن الست ما تقدرش تعمل عملية Elective Hystrectomy إلا بموافقة الزوج وإن فيه ستات كتير بتعاني عشان الزوج بيبقى منفصل عنها ولكنها لسا على ذمته ورقيًا وبتكون دعوى الخلع لا قيمة لها إلا لمّا يُبت فيها، ب) وحالة تانية وهي إن ممكن أب يرفض إن يتعمل فتح جراحي لبنته عشان ينقذ حياتها في حالات الـ imperforate hymen وتفضل البنت تتعذب بألمها قدامك لأن الأب شايف إن "نصيبها كدا" لغاية ما يحصلها نزيف داخلي عشان يبقى ليك حق تتدخل إنك تنقذ حياتها وغالبا مش هتلحق.
معرفش بقول الكلام دا ليه بس بقيت حاسس إني مُحمّل بعبئ المعرفة والوعي في أوقات كتير، وأغلب القعدات الي بقعدها أو حتى محادثات عادية بخوضها دايمًا بكون أنا الي ماسك الحديدة فيها وبرمي معلومات كتير في كل إتجاه حتى لو في حاجات عندي داتا كتير عنها بس ماليش رأي أو تصوّر واضح عن إتجاه آخده فيها، وحتى بيني وبين نفسي مافيش وقت بيعدي دماغي بتفصل وترتاح أو تديني فرصة آخد نَفَس كدا وأحس بسلام نَفسي ودايمًا حاسس إن فيه مسئولية ما أنا مُقصّر فيها وإحساس دايم بالذنب يشمَل ألم شديد لمجرّد إن فكرة وجودي مش خيال بل حقيقة للأسف. عامةً يعني أنا كنت عايز أريّحلي حبتين، بس واضح إني مش هعرف أريّح حبة واحدة طول ما انا هو أنا.

How you have imperforated hymen but still had normal period 🤔
So… I even had my OB/gyn draw a photo for me lol
When I have time I will post it but for now you can google it. I can’t remember which one I had it’s either cribriform (with mutiple small openings) or I think it was most likely microperforate (will a small opening in the center) but with both of these fluids easily pass in and out so you wouldn’t know you have the issue to began with. I believe the rarest form is the fully imperforated one and I think it would get solved or figured out in a girls teen years cause why isn’t she getting a period.

Hi Sex Witch, just wanted to ask a sex ed Q if that's ok! I recently started working out after years of being pretty inactive - I walk places and my job is more physical but no real exercise - and since I've started I noticed I had some spotting in my underwear immediately after working out. I havent changed BC or anything and havent had any of the kinds of sex that could cause any vaginal tears. I'm not really worried about it, but I just wanted to check this wasnt something I should bring up with a doctor, unless maybe it doesnt go away after a while? Thanks!
hi anon,
this is an interesting one for sure.
there's a link between physical activity and the hymen tearing, but that tends to happen at a much younger age than you presumably are if you have a job. (if you're some kind of child laborer, my condolences.)
I know some people are probably immediately balking at my mention of the hymen at all, since I've dedicated a not inconsiderable amount of my time both irl and online to talking about how the hymen is mostly bullshit and not a reliable indicator of sexual activity, and those things are true - but it is a real membrane that partially - keyword, partially - cover the vaginal opening at birth. it doesn't so much shatter upon first contact with a sexual apparatus, as many people seem to thing, as pretty gradually wear away and widen over the early years of a person's life, aided by ordinary physical activity. aside from rare cases of imperforate hymens, there's generally no drastic intervention required.
a tangent that I find interesting: historically there's been some real concern surrounding vagina-having young ladies taking part in certain activities for fear that those activities might endanger the hymen. bicycles were considered devastatingly unladylike, because they not only threatened the hymen but also allowed women to go places unsupervised like a bunch of harlots and seemed like they could, maybe, be putting pressure on the clitoris or otherwise simulating sex, which absolutely couldn't happen. there's also a probably apocryphal idea floating around, which I think may have genuinely been popularized by A Song of Ice and Fire, that horseback riding could "break" a hymen and therefore noblewomen were less likely to bleed on their wedding night because they'd grown up on horseback. like many things in Game of Thrones, that one's bullshit.
POINT BEING, there's definitely like.... a connection between spotting and physical activity that exists, but it would be slightly irregular at this phase of your life. (again, unless you're a child who's been put to work in a mine or something, in which case you have bigger problems.) note that irregular doesn't necessarily mean "dangerous" - I honestly love that you're not panicking about this - but if you're bleeding it's usually a sign that something is amiss.
if you're sure it's not a birth control situation or one where bleeding could be caused by sex, it could mean there's some kind of friction or irritation occurring in your vaginal region when you're exercising that's causing a little light bloodshed. there's also a chance that your new workout regiment is causing some kind of hormonal fluctuation in your body - possible, especially if this is something you're still getting used to! this is an especially common stress response if you've got a very low level of body fat and/or you aren't taking in as much food as your body would like; exercise puts a lot of strain on a body that isn't properly nourished!
overall, I would agree with your assessment that this is only something that you need to bring up with a doctor if it doesn't naturally stop - or, of course, if the bleeding suddenly starts getting much heavier or painful.
