There are no healthy statistics on this subject in Turkey. Since the statistics in the world cannot reflect our country, I did not find it appropriate to write here because the concept of sexual freedom in western countries significantly reduces the incidence of this disease.

He painfully explained that a woman who was recommended to take the drug was an alcoholic and that her husband gave up on the relationship and was trying to solve this problem.

The first reason is that it is too thick and closed to allow intercourse. Hymens. The second reason is those who have fixed the idea that the hymen prevents intercourse in their ego.
