How far is the hymen from the vaginal opening?

The hymen is a thin film at the vulva, which is also a symbol of female chastity. Many female friends do not know how deep it is. Let me explain to you how deep the hymen is from the vulva when it is broken.

1. First: Because the "membrane" is usually not transparent, people imagine that there is a thin film inside the vagina that isolates it from the outside, like a natural barrier. Some people even think that the first time, they will hit something and it will take a lot of energy to break through this obstacle.

2. Second: If you want to have sex after your hymen is broken, the ribbons you use nowadays to post on WeChat Moments have many wrinkles on the edges and are very soft.

3. Second: The folds grow on the inner wall of the vagina, fitting well with the vaginal wall, and do not grow and develop at the vulva, but inside the vagina (3-5 cm away from the vulva).

The hymen is a thin hollow plastic film covering the outer opening of a woman's vagina, about 1-2mm thick. The front and back of the membrane are moist mucous membranes. There is connective tissue, capillaries and nerve endings in the middle of the double-layer mucous membrane. There is a hole in the middle called the hymen hole. The size of the hymen hole and the thickness, elasticity and ductility of the membrane may be different for each person. Some are only the size of a needle head, while some holes are very large and can be entered with a finger. Some are crescent-shaped, and some are sieve-shaped or hairy-edged, making it look as if the hymen has been broken and split.

The hymen of unmarried people is usually delicate, which may tear after sexual intercourse, causing bleeding, and scars may form quickly around the hole, leading to permanent cracks. After a pregnant woman gives birth, the hymen is broken and further damaged, leaving only a hymen scar. The broken hymen can prevent external unclean things from entering the vagina and has the function of protecting the vagina.
