We advise those afflicted with obsessive whispers (waswas) to supplicate frequently, remember Allah, and turn away from them. Examining the hymen is not permissible except out of necessity, and you erred by responding to these whispers and moving between doctors. Looking at an image of the awrah (private parts) is forbidden. You must repent from this, knowing that the loss of virginity does not indicate a woman's corruption, and there is no obligation to inform a suitor of this unless he makes it a condition.
