What does HYMEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A thin fold of mucous membrane that partly surrounds or covers the opening of the vagina.
The hymen varies greatly in shape, thickness, and amount of tissue from one person to another, and in many people it is naturally open or perforated from birth. Medical professionals note that the hymen can be stretched, torn, or worn away by many ordinary activities, not only by sexual intercourse, so its condition says little about a person's history. Historically the hymen carried strong cultural and social meaning in many societies, though modern medicine treats it simply as one variable piece of anatomy. Doctors examine the hymen mainly in the context of general reproductive health rather than as a test of anything else.
