How do men and women know if their hymen is broken after sexual intercourse? Are there four key points to help you determine whether the hymen is broken
The hymen is a thin film that surrounds the outer opening of a female reproductive organ. In traditional concepts, the presence of the hymen indicates whether a woman has had sexual activity. However, in addition to sexual activity, many behaviors can also cause hymen rupture, such as exercise, masturbation, injury, and so on. So, how do you know if your hymen is broken?
How do you know if you're broken after sexual intercourse
Generally speaking, it is not difficult to know that one is shattered. Due to the fact that the hymen is not a literal layer of membrane, it is actually a very thin and delicate mucosal tissue, approximately 5 centimeters away from the vaginal opening, in a circular fold shape. Under normal circumstances, there are pores on the hymen, which can be circular, semi circular, or sieve shaped. Moreover, due to the different physical and physiological conditions of each individual, the thickness, toughness, and position of the hymen are different. Some women's hymens are thinner and have a higher chance of rupture; Some women's hymen is located in the front, making it easy to detect; There are also women whose hymen is located inward, which is relatively deep and difficult to distinguish. So, how to determine if you have a rupture? A professional gynecologist should conduct a check-up and then provide an accurate answer.
Women can also determine the state of their hymen on their own, for example, by holding a mirror and tearing off the labia minora from the position of the vaginal opening. The hymen is a thin film with a small hole in the middle that covers the outer opening of the female vagina. It is a milky white mesh with a thickness of approximately 1 to 2 millimeters. When trauma occurs, if there is no sexual intercourse or severe collision, it usually does not rupture.
How to know if you have broken or not, you can also judge from four aspects:
1. Whether there is sexual activity;
2. Whether there are super strong lower body stretching movements, such as splitting, gymnastics, dancing, etc;
3. Frequent masturbation;
Have you ever had a lower body endoscopic examination.
The above four points are closely related to hymen rupture, especially during sexual activity and endoscopic examination, which are more likely to penetrate the hymen. Women should go to a professional gynecological hospital for examination when their hymen is broken.
