The first time was painful but no blood was seen

In today's life, girls also do a lot of strenuous exercise like boys. When doing these exercises, the girls' hymen may rupture, which is a relatively normal phenomenon. The hymen is just a thin membrane in a girl's body. Because each girl's physical constitution is different, the thickness and toughness of the hymen are different. Therefore, we cannot judge that a girl is not a virgin just because she does not bleed the first time.

The first time was painful but no blood was seen

Not every woman bleeds the first time. It is possible that your hymen has ruptured during strenuous exercise in the past, which is also normal. For example, some women may rupture their hymen when participating in strenuous sports such as high jumping, horse riding, and martial arts; while some women may rupture their hymen when washing their vulva improperly, using internal tampons improperly, or even when masturbating.

Physiological structure of the hymen

In fact, the hymen is not a layer of membrane in the literal sense. It is actually a very thin and delicate mucous membrane tissue, located about 5 cm away from the vaginal opening, in the shape of a circle of circular folds. There are holes on the normal hymen, which may be ring-shaped, semicircular, sieve-shaped, etc., which are called hymenal pores. The mucous membrane tissue of the hymen contains rich microvessels, nerve endings, etc. Therefore, when the hymen ruptures, women often experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding accompanied by pain.

The role of the hymen

1. Before puberty, women's reproductive organs are not fully developed, the vaginal mucosa is weak and the acidity is low, 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.

2. After puberty, women's reproductive organs gradually develop and mature. 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.

The hymen has nothing to do with whether or not a woman is a virgin.

Because the shape and thickness of each woman's hymen are different, after having sexual intercourse, the hymen may not rupture, or there may be no bleeding even if it has ruptured. There are also a very small number of women who are born without a hymen. In addition, some women's hymen has already ruptured due to the vigorous movement of their legs during adolescence or puberty, and some women who have not had sex may have their hymen ruptured due to masturbation with their fingers or with the help of
