Hymen
Ring
An
elastic and collegenous tissue. In younger women,
hymen is very vascular as opposed to menopausal
women, which are very thin. In adult virginal
women, the hymen is a different thickness that
surrounds the vaginal opening more or less
completed. The hymental opening is crescentic or
circular. As a role, the hymen is torn at several
sites during first intercourse (coitus). Then hymen
becomes divided, permanently, in two or more
portions. Although commonly it is believed that
rupture of the hymen is accompanied by bleeding,
this is not seen in all women. The hymen may not be
lacerated even with repeated coitus. In fact, many
cases of pregnancy have been reported in women in
whom the hymen has not have been
ruptured.
The
Vagina
The
vagina is a muscular tube about 3 1/2 to 4 inches
long. The vagina serves the following
functions:
1/
it provides a passageway for menstrual flow
2/ it serves as a receptacle for a man's penis
and his sperm
3/ provides a passageway for the baby during
birth from the uterus to the outside
The
vaginal wall can be distorted in different ways.
The most common cause of vaginal distortion is
birth trauma. After birth, women will develop
relaxation of the anterior, posterior vaginal wall,
which are called
Cysto-rectocele.
CN'sto-rectocels
are hernias that cause organs to protrude into
areas where they are not meant to be. When these
hernias exist, women cannot feel completely fit or
intact. The surgical procedure is designed to
repair those hernias.
Vaginal
length varies. The anterior and posterior vaginal
walls are 6 to 8 cm (2 1/2 to 3 inches) and 7 to 10
cm (3 1/2 to 4 inches) in
length.
Under
normal circumstances, the vagina is a collapsed
tube. During intercourse, the vaginal wall secretes
a very watery substance, which serves as a
lubricant during coitus. Without such lubricant,
the insertion (penetration) of a penis could be
very painful to both woman and man.
The
vagina adjusts to the size of any inserted penis;
large or small. However, that portion of the vagina
which lies closest to the external opening may, in
some cases, become too relaxed for the preference
of either sexual partner. This usually happens
after childbirth, as a result of aging, or in some
families or races, more than others.
Hirsutism
Excess
androgen (male hormones) production is usually
associated with excessive facial usually hair, body
hair. clitoromegaly (abnormal enlargement of
clitoris), etc...
Our
modern culture has subjected us to a great deal of
understanding and practical way of using new
knowledge, which is now more than several thousand
years old.
