Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Where is the hymen located?Doctor's answer:
The hymen is located 2~3 centimeters from the vaginal opening. It is a circular, hollow membrane that covers the female vaginal opening, with a thickness of about 1-2 mm. The hymen provides some protection for the vagina, preventing the entry of some unclean secretions and bacteria. It is particularly important for unmarried girls. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
