The hymen is a hollow membrane covering the outer opening of the female vagina, with a thickness of approximately 1-2 millimeters. Both sides of the membrane are moist mucosa, with connective tissue between the two layers of mucosa. The microvascular and nerve endings are not terminated, and the middle hole is called the hymen hole. The size and thickness of hymen pores vary from person to person. The diameter of the hymen hole is about 1-1.5 centimeters, usually circular, elliptical, or serrated; Some are semi lunar in shape, with membrane pores leaning to one side; Some are septal holes, with two small holes arranged side by side up and down or left and right; Some have many scattered small holes, like those on a sieve. The hymen can prevent external impurities from entering the vagina and protect it. At birth, the hymen of most female babies is circular, that is, its tissue is evenly distributed in all directions of the Vaginal orifice. When a baby girl grows to about 3 years old, crescent hymen is more and more common - there is less hymen tissue at the end of the Vaginal orifice toward the clitoris, and more hymen tissue at the end far away from the clitoris. The role of the hymen in female reproductive organ development is poor, with weak vaginal mucosa and low acidity, which cannot prevent bacterial invasion. At this time, the hymen is thick, which also assumes the responsibility of protecting the Female reproductive system. After puberty, as the ovaries develop, estrogen in the body increases, vaginal resistance increases, and the hymen gradually weakens, losing this effect. Therefore, for mature women, the hymen no longer has physiological functions. Do every woman have a hymen?
