Where is the hymen of a girl

As women, I believe that everyone is familiar with the hymen. It plays an important role in our happy life, but how many people really understand it? Now let's take a look at some basic knowledge about ruptured hymen.

1. When does the rupture of the hymen begin?

When we are still in the mother's womb, from the third to fourth month, the hymen begins to appear and gradually grows and takes shape.

From the time we are born until we enter puberty, the hymen will gradually become softer after it breaks. When an adult woman's hymen is broken, the thickness is about 1 to 2 mm.

2.Where is the hymen located in the human body?

The hymen is a hollow plastic film covering the outer opening of a woman's vagina. It is located at the beginning and end of our vagina, in other words, it is around the vulva. The hymen is a connective tissue membrane covered with squamous epithelial cells, with no nerves and only a small number of capillaries.

3.What is the hole in the hymen?

The front and back of the broken hymen are all moist mucous membranes. There are connective tissue, capillaries and nerve endings in the middle of the double-layer mucous membrane. The small round hole in the middle is the "hymen hole".

Appearance: Its size and thickness of the membrane are different for each person. The diameter is 1-1.5 cm, which can generally accommodate the width of a finger and can have one or more holes.

They are generally ring-shaped, oval or serrated; some are crescent-shaped, with the membrane holes biased towards one side; some are partition-shaped holes, with two small round holes arranged left and right or up and down; some have many dispersed small round holes, just like the small round holes on a dice.

Function: When the hymen is broken, a hole will appear, which makes it convenient for menstruation and secretions to be discharged from the body.

4. The effect of breaking the hymen

Some theories believe that the rupture of the hymen plays a protective role on women's urinary system and even the body. The hymen is at the entrance of the vagina. As a protective natural barrier, it can prevent urine, bacteria, etc. from entering the vagina.

For young girls: The vaginal wall of growing girls is relatively thin, and the ovaries are still in the process of development. It is only the hymen that breaks this natural barrier to protect the urinary system and protect women's fertility. Some experts and scholars believe that before the age of 16-18, because the girl's body has not fully developed, the rupture of the hymen will be very large, and it exists as a warning device to prevent premature sexual life.

For adult women: having sex too early is not only detrimental to women's eugenics, but also easily causes cervical cancer due to repeated infection of the cervix. The two main causes of cervical cancer are having sex too early and having too many sexual partners, and a broken hymen just plays such a preventive role.

6. Is virgin blood considered a symbol of love?

Many people regard the breaking of the hymen as the only criterion for detecting a woman's innocence, but they do not know that the objective fact is not so. In fact, the loss of virgin blood has little to do with "love", it only has to do with physiological structure.

Some women are born without a hymen. This is an indisputable fact, and not necessarily the hymen is broken in the vagina. You cannot deny a woman's innocence and be judged to have had sexual intercourse because there is no virgin blood during the first intercourse.

Many women have a thin hymen. For most women, the broken hymen is just a thin membrane, which does not necessarily break during the first sexual intercourse. Frequent high-intensity exercise, cycling, or being hit by external forces may cause the hymen to rupture.

Some women have thick hymen. In a small number of women, the hymen will be thicker when it breaks, and it will not even break after the first intercourse. They will not have virgin blood themselves, and may even need to be removed surgically.

7. Will the hymen split open after sexual intercourse?

Many people mistakenly believe that women lose their hymen after sexual intercourse. In fact, the hymen is extremely stretchable after being broken, and will return to its original shape after normal stretching. In other words, as long as every action is gentle, the hymen will not be easily broken. As for the so-called "breaking virginity", it is nothing more than the violent tendencies of some people, injuring and tearing a woman's healthy body, which of course will bleed.

8. Can I get pregnant if my hymen is not broken?

Although there is a small hole in the broken hymen, it is convenient for sperm to pass through and enter the woman's uterus. But generally speaking, it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant if her hymen is not broken. After intercourse, sperm can survive in the uterus for 24 hours. If you do not want to get pregnant, take preventive measures as soon as possible.

How to protect the hymen from breaking

Naturally, this safeguard is not suitable for women who were born without a broken hymen.

1. Pay attention to your exercise methods

Avoid inappropriate exercise, such as opening the hips, excessive cycling, etc., and improve your physical fitness through gentler methods such as yoga and running.

2. Beautiful girls don’t need to have tampons embedded in their bodies

The embedded tampon is a sanitary napkin used in the vagina. When using it, you must be careful to avoid pulling it with force. It is best for young girls to use external sanitary napkins.

3. Self-respect and self-love

Don't eat the forbidden fruit too early, know how to protect yourself, and think twice before you act.
