The hymen has been regarded as a symbol of female purity since ancient times, and is the main representative feature of women's lack of sexual experience in terms of physiology. However, not all women without sexual experience have a hymen, and not all hymens rupture during sexual activity. Let's take a look at the hymen.
Not all vaginas have hymens
If there is no bleeding on the first night, it may be because the hymen was accidentally damaged. This film is usually attached to the opening of the vagina - movement and placement of Menstrual pad sticks may damage - and there are also people who were born without hymen. On the contrary, some people have to remove the hymen through surgery because it is too thick - it is possible to have sex or place a Menstrual pad stick.
Common causes of hymen rupture:
1. Because the hymen is close to the Vaginal orifice, a little carelessness will cause the rupture of the hymen. There are various reasons for hymen rupture, and the most familiar one is that when a woman first engages in sexual activity, the hymen will rupture and bleed. In addition, when these accidents occur, the hymen can also rupture and bleed.
2. Some women can rupture their hymen when participating in intense sports such as high jump, horse riding, and martial arts; And some women in the cleaning of the genitals, the use of built-in Tampon improper, will also cause the rupture of the hymen.
3. Intense exercise, vaginal medication, and some heavy physical labor can all cause hymen rupture. Ignorance in childhood, such as inserting foreign objects into the vagina and masturbating, can also cause hymen rupture.
How to repair the hymen?
Generally, the hymen is only about 0.5mm thick and elliptical in shape. The hymen can be imagined as an elliptical clock. When the hymen ruptures, it ruptures in the 4 o'clock direction, 6 o'clock direction, and 8 o'clock direction. Generally, women only have 1 or 2 ruptures. But if the hymen is thin or has poor elasticity, there may be cracks in several directions, and the more cracks, the more complex the repair. This depends on the thickness of each woman's hymen. Thick elasticity, less cracking when tearing; Thin membranes have poor elasticity and are prone to cracking. Some people's hymens crack after intense activity, and once they do, they can also crack more severely.
The current methods of hymen repair mainly include two types: contraposition suture and stacked tile suture. As the name suggests, contraposition stitching refers to the stitching of damaged hymens, while tile like stitching involves overlapping the upper and lower sides of the hymen, making it relatively less prone to rupture after repair. When encountering women who undergo natural childbirth, induced labor in the first month, or even multiple natural births, the hymen is usually completely ruptured with only a few scars left. This situation cannot be repaired and can only be achieved through reconstruction. That is to say, it causes the vaginal wall mucosa to stretch towards the middle, forming a new hymen.
