Hymen: hymen is located at the border between the vaginal orifice and the vaginal vestibule. It is a membranous tissue with holes in the middle of the vaginal orifice and is not completely closed. There is one or more holes in the middle, called hymen holes. Porous pores with circular, elliptical, semi lunar, or irregular cracks are sieve shaped.
The hymen is a hollow membrane covering the outer mouth of the female vagina, about 1-2 mm thick. The front and back sides of the membrane are wet mucous membranes. Between the two layers of mucous membranes are connective tissue, microvessels and nerve endings. The hole in the middle is called the hymen hole.
The size of the hymen hole and the thickness of the membrane vary from person to person. The diameter of the hymen hole is about 1~1.5 cm, which is usually circular, elliptical or zigzag, and has a half moon shape. The membrane hole is inclined to a side of the septum hole, there are two small holes in the upper and lower or side by side, and there are also scattered holes like the small holes on the sieve.
The hymen can prevent the external unclean things from entering the vagina and protect the vagina. Before puberty, because the ovaries secrete very little estrogen, the vaginal mucosa is thin, with few wrinkles and low acidity, so the resistance is poor. The hymen has the protective effect of preventing bacteria from invading the vagina; After puberty, with the development of ovaries, estrogen in the body increases, vaginal resistance is strengthened, and hymen gradually loses its function. The hymen hole is necessary for physiology. After a woman matures, the monthly menstrual blood is discharged through this hole. If there is no hole on the membrane, the monthly menstrual blood will be blocked by it and cannot be discharged from the body. In medicine, hymen is called closed. If not detected in a timely manner, menstrual blood accumulates in the vagina and can expand upwards into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes in adulthood. It flows into the abdominal cavity through the distal opening of the fallopian tubes, causing damage to the fallopian tubes, intestinal adhesions, and abdominal infections.
Hymen after coitus and postpartum
During the first sexual intercourse of virgins, when the male penis is inserted into the female vagina, the top of the hymen breaks and forms a crack. The cracks in the hymen are frequent and extend radially from the center to the periphery. The direction of the male penis entering is generally downward and inward. Therefore, the crack is deep on both sides of the vaginal opening and reaches the base, which is called complete rupture. During sexual intercourse, males exert excessive force and there are also lacerations in the nearby vaginal wall. For women who have given birth, due to the vaginal delivery of the fetus, the hymen is further damaged, so that it is incomplete everywhere, sometimes leaving only a few remaining projections, called hymen scars. If the baby is delivered by caesarean section, because the baby is delivered from the incision in the lower abdomen and does not pass through the vagina, the hymen still remains in the shape after marriage.
The relationship between hymen and virginity
Generally speaking, female hymen rupture means that she is no longer a virgin, but there is also a complete female hymen, but she is no longer a virgin, and there are also real virgins, women with hymen rupture. The hymen of a virgin has a large hole, good elasticity, and few blood vessels inside the membrane. Men are not rude during sexual intercourse. After repeated sexual intercourse, the hymen will not break. On the contrary, hymen breaks in an accident. Ignorant women in childhood insert toys into the vagina. Some trauma or sharp objects happen to resist the vulva, and some are damaged due to masturbation, washing, or vaginal tamping. Therefore, we cannot only identify whether the hymen is broken or not.
Uncover the secret! The role of hymen in sexual life
As an obstacle to external genitalia, hymen is physiologically an obstacle to sexual life and to prevent the penis from entering the vagina. From the perspective of physiological reaction, this obstacle will definitely bring pain to both men and women to varying degrees. Some women suffer from the influence of hymen tablets, long-term sexual pain. The role of hymen in sexual life, it should be said that it is not good for men, but it brings a lot of pain to women. The existence of hymen is not conducive to sexual life.
In sexual life, the sexual physiology and psychology of both men and women may also pose a threat. For example, the strong resistance of the hymen, the over stimulation of ejaculation by the glans penis, which cannot be attacked for a long time, and the mental burden on men may be the cause of premature ejaculation.
In addition, during the first sexual intercourse under the tense and rough sexual behavior of women and men, women experience intense pain, leaving a heavy psychological shadow, and there are also people who develop sexual apathy and vaginal spasms under this psychological background. Sexual life should be a happy experience of emotional fusion between the two parties, and the existence of hymen obviously affects its formation.
Sex not only has physiological significance, but also psychological and social significance. The feelings of both men and women on hymen in sexual life are mainly expressed as satisfaction of a cultural mentality. Under the influence of Chinese traditional culture, women have existed for thousands of years as men's attachment and reproductive tools. For men, hymen means a psychological satisfaction of possessing and dominating women, and for women, it means a connection between belonging and submission. All of this has lost its significance in the context of modern culture.
In modern society, people's independent personality is increasingly manifested, and many examples in daily life repeatedly prove to us that occupying a woman's body temporarily cannot receive her love, but it is difficult to establish a lifelong belonging by dedicating one's own membrane to a man. Therefore, the longing and worship of hymen is just a deformed sexual mood. Excessive attention to hymen affects the construction of human character and behavior response, brings many adverse psychological effects to the long-term stable sexual life, or the contradiction of sexual needs causes the disharmony of personality.
