Why do women bleed for the first time?

Ancient China was a society that valued boys over girls, and also attached great importance to a woman's virginity. Many costume dramas and movies also mentioned that the day after a man and a woman got married, the family would check whether there was "virgin blood" on the wedding bed of the newlyweds in order to determine the woman's chastity, but in fact this was a very unreasonable method. Many times we all have a perception that women will bleed during their first intercourse, but is this really the case? Let’s find out together.

Why does a woman bleed the first time?

The female hymen is located at the vulva, which is a thin layer of epithelial cell tissue. During the first sexual intercourse, the male genitals will puncture the hymen. After the hymen is torn, the capillaries will rupture and blood will be discharged. Generally, bleeding will occur not only the first time, but also if the rupture does not heal firmly, you will bleed again when you have sex again.

Will a virgin bleed for the first time?

Scientific research has confirmed this problem. The survey shows that 29.7% of women do not bleed during their first sexual intercourse. Everyone's physical fitness is different, and the thickness of each girl's hymen is also different. If it is thin, strong exercise or impact and other similar movements will cause the hymen to rupture before sexual intercourse; if it is thick, it may not rupture even during sexual intercourse. Bleeding can be considered a characteristic of most virgins, but not all.

The following types of situations are also the reasons why a virgin does not bleed for the first time:

1. Some unique girls are born without hymen

2. Some girls have thin hymens, which may be broken and ruptured prematurely due to cycling or intense fitness exercises.

3. The hymen is too loose or too strong to be broken. It did not break the first time.

4. There was no bleeding the first time, but it was discharged with secretions in the following days.

Therefore, there is no need to only care about the breaking of the hymen. People who really love you will not care about this problem.
