Will there be bleeding if the hymen is broken?

The bleeding time after rupture of the hymen is generally 3-5 days, and most of the bleeding occurs within 3 days. Bleeding is caused by the rupture of the capillaries on the ruptured hymen. The bleeding is usually red and usually does not exceed the menstrual volume. Generally, the bleeding will be heavier on the day the hymen ruptures, and then gradually decrease or stop. Most of the bleeding will gradually stop within 3 days. During this period, you should pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts and wash them with warm water every day.

1. Will a virgin bleed if she is broken?

The hymen is a relatively thin connective tissue located at the vulva, which is easily damaged by external force. Generally, there is only bleeding and mild pain when the hymen is damaged. However, some women have thicker hymens, and the pain will be more obvious when they are torn. Therefore, many women may also have their hymen damaged in their daily life and work. If the hymen is broken with only a slight crack, there will not be obvious pain, but there will be bleeding during sexual intercourse because the blood supply to the hymen is stopped.

2. How to protect the hymen after it is broken

A broken hymen can prevent external unclean objects from entering the vagina and protect the vagina. Before puberty, because the uterus and ovaries secrete very little estrogen, the vaginal mucosa is thin, the walls are less wrinkled, and the acidity is low, so the resistance is poor. The broken hymen has a protective effect to prevent bacteria from invading the vagina. After puberty, with the growth and development of the uterus and ovaries, the body's estrogen increases, the resistance of the vagina is improved to a certain extent, and the broken hymen will gradually lose its function.

The hole in the hymen is a physiological necessity. After a woman is born, the menstrual blood is discharged from the body once a month through this small hole. If there is no small hole in the membrane, the menstrual blood is blocked by it and cannot be discharged from the body. This is medically called hymen occlusion. If not treated in time, menstrual blood will accumulate in the female vagina, and after years and months, it can expand upward to the uterine body and bilateral fallopian tubes, and flow into the abdomen through the distal openings of the bilateral fallopian tubes, causing damage to the bilateral fallopian tubes, intestinal adhesions, and abdominal infection.
