The hymen is a symbol of purity and is important for both men and women. The hymen it is just a membrane beyond that, and for women, it varies at different ages. So what exactly are the changes?
Girlhood.
The hymen protects the vagina from invading bacteria. The hymen is located near the outer opening of the vagina, about 1-2mm thick, with a small hole in the middle, almost 1cm in diameter, of different shapes, such as round, half-moon, etc. The hymen is on the side of the vagina. The hymen is either scattered in many holes or two holes side by side. This hole is used to allow menstrual blood to drain out of the body during menstruation. If there are no holes, the menstrual blood will be blocked and accumulate in the vagina, resulting in ruptured fallopian tubes, abdominal infections, and other conditions that must be treated with gynecological surgery.
Before puberty, a woman’s melancholy ovaries produce little estrogen and the vaginal mucosa is thin and resistant, so the hymen plays a protective role. After puberty, when the ovaries develop and estrogen increases, the hymen becomes less effective and the vagina becomes more resistant to estrogen.

In the first sexual intercourse, the hymen is ruptured at the top and breaks open and bleeds. Because the hymen is of different shapes, the degree of destruction varies. If the hymen is thick and elastic, it may not be completely broken the first time around, and about 30% of women do not bleed the first time around.
After childbirth
The fetus is delivered from the vagina, at which point the hymen is further broken. There may also be several remaining protrusions left behind. The hymen can be surgically sutured. This involves using the remaining hymen to be surgically sutured, and in some cases it may be too damaged and difficult to restore.
