Will a normal tampon break the hymen?

Nowadays, for the sake of convenience, a small number of female friends do not use sanitary napkins during menstruation but choose convenient tampons. Tampons are different from sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are used externally and stuck on underwear, while tampons are inserted into the vagina. Therefore, some unmarried girls will inevitably worry that using tampons during menstruation will break the hymen. So, will using tampons break the hymen? Many unmarried female friends have such questions in their minds.

I guess many girls have the same problem. There are a lot of tampons sold in supermarkets, but can teenage girls use them? Of course unmarried women can use internal tampons. Because the hymen is a ring-shaped tissue with a hole in the center that allows menstrual blood to flow out of the body. The size of the hole varies from person to person, and the general diameter is 2.5 cm. There are many types of tampons for internal use. You can choose a smaller ordinary tampon, which has a diameter of only 1.32 cm, which is more than enough to pass through the hole in the hymen without damaging the hymen.

The diameter of the cervical opening is 0.1 to 0.2 cm, while the diameter of a tampon is 1.32 to 1.42 cm. It is impossible for it to pass through the cervical opening and enter the uterus, let alone enter the abdominal cavity from the uterus. Since the pull string of the tampon is tightly sewn from the top to the tail end, when the tampon is soaked with menstrual blood and becomes moist, it is not difficult to remove it by gently pulling the tail of the string.

However, when using tampons, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of your hands and vulva. Wash your hands carefully before inserting the tampon into the vagina. Do not touch the catheter and tampon that enter the vagina to avoid bringing bacteria into the vagina. The time to change the tampon depends on the amount of menstrual blood. It is usually changed every 2 to 4 hours and must be removed within 8 hours. Because the tampon stays in the vagina for too long, it may cause unnecessary trouble and cause pelvic infection.

Through the detailed introduction of the above content, I believe that everyone now has some understanding and knowledge about the question of whether using tampons will break the hymen. Generally speaking, as long as used correctly, internal tampons will not affect your health. However, it is still recommended that some unmarried female friends should not use tampons, because if they are not used correctly during the process, it is very likely to damage the hymen.
