Why don't you discuss this with your OB/GYN? The internet and anonymous forums aren't really the best place for medical advice.

this is exactly why you don't ask for medical advice on an anonymous forum, you end up getting the wrong information. talk to your ob/gyn because it is indeed possible to do a transvag US in a virgin with a hymen but it depends on a few things that i will not get into here

this forum is not the approrpaite place for medical advice. I would call your primary care docutor or obs.gyn. Good luck.
