The answer

Allah the Almighty is not angry with someone who did what she did out of ignorance, and the ignorant person is not held accountable. There is no need to make up for the days during which this habit was practiced in Ramadan if the action was due to ignorance, nor is expiation required. As for the prayers, there is a difference of opinion regarding the obligation to make them up, and making them up is more cautious and is the view of the majority. She should try to ascertain the number of prayers that were performed without purification and act according to her best judgment in making them up in a way that clears her conscience. As for the hymen, what you mentioned is an illusion.
