Would fingering yourself make you loose your virginity

Hymen is a tissue which is present around the vaginal opening and in turn has an opening in it, which allows the menstrual fluid to pass out of the body. The hymen has been long associated with virginity, as it usually ruptures or breaks during sexual intercourse. There are however various conditions where the hymen might break without sex. Does fingering break hymen or can you break your hymen while getting fingered are very common queries. The hymen tissue is a little stretchy and when you finger yourself or your partner fingers you, the hymen can stretch or break.

Dear doctor, I have heard that fingering will give immense pleasure. I am a virgin now. Is there a chance that I will lose my virginity by fingering? Please help.

The hymen is a crescent-shaped thin membrane that covers part of the vaginal opening see diagram below. This occurs especially if the opening in the hymen is small or there is pain with insertion. Some women may have a few spots of blood the first time they have sex, others do not. There is no sure way of knowing if someone has ever had sexual intercourse.
