If the hymen blocks the vagina then how...?
Question:
Answers:
A hymen is the thin piece of tissue that partially blocks the entrance to the vagina.
Although some women are born without a hymen, most have one, and the hymen varies in size and shape from woman to woman. The hymen usually does not cover the entire vaginal opening, since there must be some way for the menstrual fluid, or period, to leave the body.
A separated hymen is not an indication of having had intercourse, nor can it prove a loss of virginity. In fact, some women must have their hymen surgically removed before the birth of their first child because it is so flexible or small that it remains intact during intercourse.
When the hymen is separated, whether during first intercourse or at some other time, there may be some slight bleeding and a little pain. Both the bleeding and the pain are quite normal and both usually stop after a short time. Some women experience no discomfort at all during this process that is commonly referred to as "losing your cherry".
It is important to remember that a woman can become pregnant even if her hymen is intact and no penis has entered her vagina. If sperm comes in contact with the labia or general vaginal area, it can move through the opening in the vagina and possibly lead to a pregnancy. An intact hymen should not be considered a form of birth control.
i want to know to
(*gives a star*)
i have always wondered that! i have no idea but thanks for asking it! lol :)
There are little holes in openings in it that allow the blood to pass through.
It doesn't completel block it.
there's usually a very small hole for menstrul to flow cuz i got just a much stuff coming out before my hymen broke.
the hymen does block the vagina to a degree. The hymen is only about 96 percent in tact. But there is enough opening to let blood through. Sometimes women have a complete blockage therefore causing them to go to there gyno at an early age and having the tiniest slit cut into the hymen.
I know this is sorta nasty, but if it offends you then you shouldn't have asked the question. Your hymen has a lot of little holes in it that the menstrual blood goes through. I learned from the best selling book "The Period Book" by Karen and Jennifer Gravelle. It's really informative, check it out!
i always wondered that!
The hymen does not usually block the vagina entrance. Sometimes it does and has to be cut by a gynecologist. But normally It forms a ring that does not completely close the vagina. Over time it can get stretched and worn down or torn from normal day life.
each hymen in any virgin girl has one or more holes, some times hymen forms a ring , that is how blood go through!
I think this has been explained by now, but it doesn't completely block it! (Except in some very rare cases) I'm surprised so many girls don't know that! Didn't you have a hole there as a kid? I know I did, even though it was tiny. Although the size of the opening varies between girls, there is almost always one.
I don't understand this about "little holes" in the hymen, because if they are so little, how could lumps/clots of blood and period fibre come through? I guess that girls who just don't get their period may have a totally intact hymen and then of course they would need to get it cut.
