What color is the hymen

When the hymen is broken, it is usually light pink, the same color as the female vaginal mucosa, and is located around the vulva. Due to individual differences, the appearance of a broken hymen is also different, such as a triangular hymen, a sieve hymen, an umbrella hymen, and annular hymen. In clinical medicine, annular hymen is the most common, and the thickness of the broken hymen is also realistic. Some are relatively thin, and they will crack and cause bleeding during the first sexual intercourse between the couple. If the hymen is broken and thick, the bleeding during the first sexual intercourse will be relatively heavy.

Both the front and back sides are light pink. The female hymen is a transparent film-like tissue with a certain degree of elasticity. The hymen of adolescents is small and thick. As girls grow and mature, the hymen will gradually become larger and thinner, and have greater elasticity.

The hymen of an adult woman is about 1 to 2 mm thick, with connective tissue, capillaries and peripheral nerves in between. In the center of the broken hymen, there is a small round hole with a diameter of 1 cm to 1.5 cm, which is called "hymen hole" in medicine. Women will have their periods after the hymen is complete. Menstrual blood is discharged from the body through this hole once a month.

The normal color of a broken hymen is generally similar to the skin, light pink. Moreover, as the female body grows and matures, the hymen will become larger and softer after it is broken, so the color will appear relatively lighter. It may look milky. This situation need not be taken too seriously. And not all Virgos will bleed when they have sex for the first time.
