Definicja i Znaczenie "hymen"

What is "hymen"?

The hymen is a thin, membranous tissue located at the opening of the vagina, which can vary in shape and thickness among individuals. While traditionally associated with notions of virginity, the hymen has no reliable indicators of sexual activity and can be stretched, torn, or absent due to various factors, such as physical activity, tampon use, or normal development. It is important to dispel myths surrounding the hymen and recognize its natural variations to promote accurate understanding of female anatomy and debunk harmful stereotypes.
