Pleva, or as it is also called, hymen - is unique, because its location, shape, often and the thickness of each girl is different. Sometimes even a gynecologist can not find it. The hymen is the fold of the mucous membrane. A spit can have one or more small holes for the release of menstrual flow.
Hymen consists of a large number of blood vessels, so when it is damaged (more often it happens during sexual intercourse), blood is secreted. The amount of blood discharge depends on the physiological or age characteristics of the girl. In 18-20 years, the hymen is well stretched, and when it rips, a young woman loses little blood. With the age of the hymen, it becomes less elastic, and this makes it more difficult to break, increases pain. Bloody discharge increases, up to bleeding. After 30 years, the hymen loses its elasticity.
The first experience of sexual relations is the main cause of damage to the hymen, although there may be exceptions. If the hymen is very elastic, or has a wide central hole, then its rupture may not occur. In this case, the spit is necessarily destroyed, but already during childbirth.
Where is the hymen?
This wrinkle is located at the entrance to the vagina. The location of the hymen covers the entrance to the vagina. Thus, it protects the vagina from infections. After its loss, the microflora of the internal genital organs changes under the influence of bacteria.
Answer the question - what depth of the hymen is not easy, tk. it depends on the structure of the organism of each individual person. More often this fold lies in the vagina at a depth of 2-3 cm, although the distance can be more - from 5 to 10 cm.
Thus, due to the individual characteristics of the female body, it does not matter where the hymen is located and what its elasticity is. At the first sexual experience young people should take into account not the anatomical features of the girl, but her feelings, emotional state.
