How far is the hymen from the vaginal opening?

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 hymen, and the pain will be more obvious when it is torn. The location of the ruptured hymen is not the same for everyone. It is mainly related to the individual's weight. The fatter the person, the closer the hymen will be. So how far away from the vagina is the hymen broken?

The hymen does not grow inside the vagina when it is broken. It is a layer of thin film with holes in the center covering the inner and outer openings of the vagina. It is located at the vulva, that is, the intersection of the vagina and the vestibule. The vagina is the concave area below and behind the labia majora.

The hymen is broken 1-2 cm away from the vulva, and you can see it with a bathroom mirror. The hymen is a hollow plastic film covering the outer opening of a woman's vagina, about 1-2 mm thick. The front and back of the membrane are moist mucous membranes. There are connective tissue, capillaries and nerve endings in the middle of the double-layer mucous membrane. The small round hole in the middle is called the hymen hole. The size of the hymen hole and the thickness of the membrane may vary from person to person.

1. The size of the hymen hole varies from person to person. Some people's hymen holes are relatively large. Even if they have sex, the hymen may not be damaged if it is broken.

2. If there is no ejaculation or the penis has not entered the vagina, as long as there is semen secretion, pregnancy may occur, because semen contains a small amount of sperm. Once the sperm is excreted from the penis and enters the vagina, it will quickly move to the cervix, enter the uterine cavity and then reach the fallopian tubes to cause pregnancy. Therefore, if you have not had your period when your period comes, you need to do an early pregnancy test to eliminate the possibility of pregnancy.
