A high incidence of hymenal tags (5.75%) and hymenal bands (2.7%) was found during the routine physical examination of 974 female infants within the first 24 hours of life. Hymenal tags usually disappear spontaneously as the estrogen effect diminishes. If they do not, biopsy should be considered.

A simple test is proposed to demonstrate the superficial position of the hymenal band and its lack of connection with an internal structure.
