What does the hymen look like?

The hymen is broken, also known as the urethral valve or vaginal valve. The former is mostly used in humans, and the latter is mostly used in other animals. There is a rampant mucosal fold at the bottom inner wall of the junction of the urogenital vestibule and the vagina, which is called the hymen. So what does a broken hymen look like, and what is the purpose of touching a virgin?

1. Structural type of ruptured hymen

The hymen does not grow inside the vagina when it is broken. It is a layer of thin film with holes in the center covering the inner and outer openings of the vagina. It is located at the vulva, that is, the intersection of the vagina and the vestibule. The vagina is located in the depression below and behind the labia majora (the depth of the depression is about 2 to 3 cm).

It is a thin mucous membrane located at the junction of the vagina and outside, with a hole in the middle that allows menstruation to discharge from the vagina. When born, most girls' hymen is broken in a ring shape, that is, its tissue is in the vagina. The true shape of the mouth is evenly distributed in all directions. When the baby girl grows to about 3 years old, the crescent-shaped rupture of the hymen becomes more and more common-the hymen on the side of the vulva towards the clitoris has less ruptured tissue, while the hymen on the side away from the clitoris has more ruptured tissue.

As female insects grow, the shape of the hymen in adults begins to become more and more different, and some individuals are even born without a hymen. Of course, the reason why some animals have no hymen is that the hymen disappears during the embryonic period, but such animals usually come into estrus early.

2. The effect of breaking the hymen

1) Protect the female urinary system: This theory believes that the rupture of the hymen plays a protective role on the female urinary system and even the human body. It is a natural barrier that protects oneself and prevents the invasion of pathogens. The broken hymen guards the entrance to the vagina, which can prevent urine from entering the vagina. Ancient women did not wear dresses. At most, they would wear a piece of clothing around their lower body. According to scientists, when the hymen is broken, more than 2/3 of women will feel pain and bleed. The sooner the marriage is completed, the more obvious this phenomenon is.

2) Used to select the strongest man: This theory believes that the main function of breaking the hymen is to select the strongest man and promote high-quality sperm to enter the body for fertilization. In the ancient times of mankind, human marriage life was relatively casual and chaotic. There is no inappropriate selection, no age restrictions or limitations. The blindness of the fusion of the two sexes is very great. The existence of a broken hymen can prevent old men and those with impotence from taking possession of young girls. This can reduce or avoid the birth of less improved offspring, and has the practical significance of selecting the strongest for evolution. Because the sexual function of the elderly is relatively weak, and most of the men who cannot have sex are also people with weak physical fitness or illness.
