Will it bleed the first time?

In fact, when women have sex for the first time, bleeding will occur, but not every woman will have vaginal bleeding. It still depends on your actual situation. If there is no bleeding, there is no need to worry too much. This is also a physiological phenomenon. The main reason is that the first time will cause disharmony due to nervousness and shyness.

Adulthood

During the first sexual intercourse, the hymen is broken and a tear is formed, causing bleeding.

Because the hymen has different shapes, the degree of rupture can vary greatly. When a septate hymen with two holes ruptures, there will be heavy bleeding and severe pain. The labial hymen bleeds less and is almost painless. A thicker, more elastic umbrella-shaped hymen may not rupture at all.

According to a survey of American gynecologists, about 30% of women have no bleeding or very little bleeding during their first sexual intercourse. This 30% includes the more elastic umbrella-shaped hymen, which may rupture after multiple sexual intercourses or after a particularly wild sexual journey, but may not necessarily cause bleeding. It also includes the porous sieve-shaped hymen, which is extremely easy to rupture and may have ruptured for various reasons before the first sexual intercourse.

After childbirth

As the fetus is delivered vaginally, the hymen is further damaged. Sometimes only a few residual protrusions are left, which are called hymenal scars. This change does not occur with a caesarean section delivery. [4]

During adolescence

Before puberty, women's reproductive organs are not yet fully developed, the vaginal mucosa is weaker and the acidity is lower, so it cannot prevent the invasion of bacteria. The hymen is thicker at this time, so it takes on this important task and plays a role in protecting the female reproductive system. After puberty, women's reproductive organs gradually develop and the vagina has the function of resisting bacterial invasion, but the hymen gradually becomes weak and loses this function. Therefore, for mature women, the hymen no longer has any physiological function.

Before puberty, because the ovaries secrete less estrogen, the vaginal mucosa is thin, with fewer wrinkles, low acidity and weak resistance, the hymen has the function of preventing bacteria from invading the vagina. After puberty, with the development of the ovaries, the amount of estrogen in the body increases, the resistance of the vagina increases, and the hymen loses its function.
