Xiaoyue (pseudonym) is 26 years old this year. Some time ago, she went to the hospital for a physical examination. When she was undergoing a gynecological examination, the doctor asked her if she had any sexual experience. Although she felt confused, Xiaoyue still truthfully stated that she had never had any relationship with a man.

After the doctor confirmed it, he told Xiaoyue that "this examination cannot be done, it will damage the hymen." Xiaoyue was unbelievable and repeatedly confirmed that the doctor still refused to do a test for her, because she was afraid of being held accountable!

In the end, Xiaoyue could only skip this check.

In 2020, some patients were also denied surgery three times due to the "hymen". The uterine polyps patient finally went to three hospitals and replaced 5 doctors to successfully complete the operation. The reason why the doctor refused before was also because he was afraid of damaging the hymen and took responsibility.

Seeing this, I believe many people, like Uncle Jiu, couldn't help but ask: Is that film more important than health? Not even doing surgery?

1. Hymen, born to be broken

In recent years, medical disputes caused by "destruction of hymen" have occurred from time to time, and among these medical disputes, few of them have determined that the doctor will win the case. Therefore, in the face of surgery or examination that may damage the patient's hymen, doctors always become extra vigilant about .

From this perspective, doctors are also victims of "hymen culture".

For a long time, "hymen culture" has been kidnapping girls . Many men believe that hymen is a symbol of virginity. The first experience was "breaking", and "falling red" became the criterion for judgment. If a girl has no hymen, she will be "not clean"...

This layer of membrane has even caused many disputes, "The hymen was broken when a female college student was treated and claimed compensation from the hospital." "The doctor refused the operation because she was afraid of bearing the consequences of hymen rupture." Some doctors even posted that "the hospital caused the hymen to rupture and had to bear the mental compensation."

However, what many people don’t know is that the film of is born to be broken .

Clinically, the real name of the hymen is "urethral valve" and "vaginal valve", which is a layer of transverse mucosal fold at the bottom wall of the junction of female urinary vestibule and vagina, which is mainly used to protect the inside of the vagina.

HymmaHym The shape varies from person to person , which can be umbrella, half-moon, ring, lip, or sieve. Most women have this thin film, and very few women are born without it. This film is not closed. itself is "breaking" and has holes of different shapes to facilitate menstrual blood flow.

And the complete hymen that many people pursue, is actually a pathological , clinically called "attention", which is one of the reasons why dysmenorrhea in women.

In daily life, this thin layer of hymen may break, because it may be due to first sexual activities, cycling, horse riding, splits, heavy physical labor and other exercises.

2. Repair surgery, there is really no need for

Many women will pursue the integrity of hymen due to social attention, and advertisements for hymen repair surgery can be seen everywhere in China. Is hymen really necessary to repair it?

Hymen repair surgery is to perform local anesthesia on the patient. The doctor uses scissors to trim the ruptured hymen neatly, and then suture it with absorbable sutures or nylon threads, leaving small holes on the cracked membrane that can only pass through one finger. If the hymen is severely ruptured, part of the patient's mucosa must be taken and another one should be created.

This surgery is relatively simple and can usually be completed in half an hour, However, no matter the size of the surgery, there are certain risks.

First of all, the site of this operation is relatively special and is easily contaminated by secretions, feces and urine, etc. The risk of postoperative infection is high and may cause postoperative complications.

Secondly, because regular hospitals need to use real-name system when performing such operations, Many women are worried about being discovered and will choose private clinics or even black clinics . Once the operation is not standardized during the operation, the infection rate will be higher, and there is even a risk of infertility.

3. Regarding women, these cognitions are also wrong

In life, the wrong cognitions about women are not only "hymen", and we must also correctly understand the following two points.

. Gynecological inflammation ≠ Private life rich

Equivalent gynecological inflammation with private life rich is completely a prejudice.

Gynecological inflammation is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the female reproductive system, including vaginitis , cervicitis , endometriitis, etc. The occurrence of this disease is related to sexual life. Women who do not have sex may also have gynecological inflammation-related problems, such as inattention to hygiene, imbalance of bacteria, low autoimmunity, and unauthorized use of drugs. These factors can lead to infection of the female reproductive system and cause inflammatory diseases of varying degrees.

. Will tampons destroy which layer of film?

At present, tampons have not been recognized by many Chinese people, and their boyfriends even mind the woman using tampons because it may "punch" the hymen.

In fact, there are enough explanations for the hymen above. The hymen itself has holes, so how can it be said that it is "punched" by a tampon? In addition, the diameter of the holes on the hymen is usually 1.9cm, and the diameter of the tampon does not exceed 1.5cm. Theoretically, as long as it is used correctly, the insufficient tampon will destroy the membrane.

Although medicine is developed nowadays and ideas are gradually open, "hymen culture" is still a shackle that imprisons women. In fact, this thin film has almost no effect when women become adults. How can women's value be defined by this small hymen? Does this film need to prove the relationship between couples?
