How painful is it to tear the hymen?

The hymen is only a thin film, and the tearing process usually causes only limited mild pain, although this situation sometimes varies from person to person. On the one hand, the elasticity of the female hymen is relatively poor, and there is a hymen hole on it, which cannot accommodate the male's reproductive organs during the first sexual intercourse. It usually breaks at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions on the clock face, and there is usually bleeding. On the other hand, many women are very anxious about losing their virginity during the first sexual intercourse, and feel severe pain when the male reproductive organs are inserted, and they are even unable to have sex. Therefore, women feel that the rupture of the hymen will cause pain.

Why does the hymen of a woman break during her first sexual intercourse? In fact, the hymen of a woman is just a thin film, a layer of circular tissue located at the vulva, which has poor elasticity and a virgin hole on it. However, the pain that most women experience during their first sexual intercourse is not caused by the rupture of the hymen. The severe pain of the first sexual intercourse is not closely related to the rupture of the hymen. Its essence is that women have uterine spasm.

There are many muscles around the female vaginal opening. The excessive sensitivity of these muscles will involuntarily contract during the first sexual intercourse. If the male penis is forcibly inserted, it will cause pain, and in severe cases, it will even cause swelling of the vulva. When a woman has her first sexual intercourse, she should do enough foreplay to make her vagina moist and lubricated. If the preparation before sexual intercourse is not sufficient, the man's forced entry will cause certain pain. On the other hand, there are also psychological reasons for women. When having sex for the first time, women’s excessive anxiety will also cause psychological and physical pain to a certain extent.

Sometimes the rupture of the hymen is not caused by sexual intercourse. The hymen is only a thin ring-shaped tissue located at the vulva. Women's vigorous exercise can also cause the rupture of the hymen to a certain extent, such as the private parts being hit during excessive exercise, which is common in gymnastics exercises such as riding astride the uneven bars and stretching the "splits". In most cases, it will also cause the hymen to rupture.

For symptoms such as pain, it is recommended that these women go to the hospital or perform behavioral treatment at home: after sufficient lubrication, use an object similar to the shape of a penis to insert into their vagina, and slowly move it in and out; start with a smaller object, and then gradually insert a larger one after getting used to it, and finally put in an object as big as the erect penis to simulate. From then on, the uterine cramps and pain from the first sexual intercourse can be slowly eliminated.
