When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (less than three years old) it is as if one puts the finger into the eye (tears come to the eye again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years)

Rather the practical difference is the case, for instance, where her husband had intercourse with her while she was under three years of age and found blood and when he had intercourse after the age of three he also found blood. If you grant that the features disappear and reappear again the blood might well be treated as that of virginity, but if you maintain that they cannot be destroyed until after the age of three years, that must be the blood of menstruation.
