I looked and her hymen was gone. I had been with her for two whole days so don't know how this happened. Has someone done this to her or can it happen for another reason? Please give me some advice as I am so worried Thank you.

Has she taken a fall off a swing, climbed any trees, ridden a bike, or even slipped when climbing out of the bath?
The hymen is a very delicate thing and most girls in this day and age will have damaged it or lost it just from playing rough or doing high kicks or something very innocent.
As Honeygirl says, she may also have been exploring herself as she will be getting to the age when she actually takes notice of her own body and the world around her.
Talk to her and ask her what kinds of things she has done, tell her she won't be in trouble and you'll keep it a secret if she wants.
She's probably been in a fight with another kid at playgroup or something.
Please don't panic and think she has been molested straight away.
Good Luck!! xx

It might me that your daughter was 'exploring' and has hurt herself, perhaps she has inserted something into her vagina. Alternatively, she might have a bladder infection, which hurts when she urinates. I think this calls for the assistance of your doctor.
