Although many men may say they don't care if a woman is a virgin, according to survey results, many men actually have a virgin complex. Many people believe that the hymen represents chastity, so it is important. But the role of the hymen is not only that, it also has other functions. However, many people are unaware of the hymen, so some people ask what the length of the female hymen is.
What does the female hymen look like?
What is the female hymen like? Firstly, it is important to know that the vaginal opening is located behind the external opening of the urethra, behind the vestibule. There is a thin layer of mucosal folds around it, called the hymen. 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 mucous membranes, including connective tissue, microvessels, and nerve endings between the two layers. The small pore in the middle is called the hymen pore.
The size and thickness of the hymen pore vary from person to person. The diameter of the hymen hole is about 1-1.5 centimeters, usually circular, elliptical, or serrated, with a half moon shaped shape. The membrane hole leans to one side and is a septal hole, with two small holes arranged side by side, or scattered like small holes on a sieve.
The hymen can prevent external impurities from entering the vagina, playing a protective role in the vagina. Before puberty, due to the low secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, the vaginal mucosa is thin, with less wrinkled walls, and low acidity, resulting in poor resistance. The hymen has a protective effect on preventing bacteria from invading the vagina; After puberty, with the development of the ovaries, the estrogen in the body increases, the vaginal resistance is strengthened, and the hymen gradually loses its function.
Uncovering the true role of the female hymen
What takes care of you is not only the cushion, but also the hymen. The hymen has a protective effect on the female reproductive system and body. It is an obstacle to protect oneself and prevent the invasion of pathogens. The hymen is placed at the entrance of the vagina to prevent urine from entering the vagina.
For women, having sex too early and repeatedly infecting the cervix can easily cause cervical cancer. In addition, starting sexual activity too early can have a negative impact on eugenics and fertility. The hymen precisely plays such a preventive role.
