Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor to tell me. My boyfriend and I have only had sex once. It was very difficult for his sexual organ to enter my body, only about 1 to 2 centimeters. Has my hymen already broken?Doctor's answer:
The hymen is located 2~3 centimeters from the vaginal opening. The hymen is a circular, hollow membrane that covers the female vaginal opening, with a thickness of about 1-2 mm. It provides a certain protective function for the vagina, preventing some unclean secretions and bacteria from entering. This is particularly important for unmarried girls. The hymen is right at the vaginal opening and is not very deep. When the hymen breaks, it usually results in minimal bleeding, with heavy bleeding being a rare occurrence.
