Write a note on hymen.

Explanation

The external opening of the vagina is partially closed by a thin ring of tissue called the hymen. The hymen is often torn during the first coitus (physical union). However in some women it remains intact. It can be stretched or torn due to a sudden fall or jolt and also during strenuous physical activities such as cycling and horseback riding, etc., and therefore cannot be considered as an indicator of a woman.s virginity.
