Hymen: a thin membrane that surrounds the opening to the vagina. Hymens can come in different shapes. The most common hymen in young women is shaped like a half moon. This shape allows menstrual blood to flow out of the vagina. Annual hymen :- in most newborn girls, the hymen has an annular appearance (Figure 1). the ring shape extends all of the way around the vaginal rim. oestrogen can cause the hymen to thicken (increase in depth) and also to increase in width Cribriform hymen :- A cribriform hymen is a rare condition in which a girl's hymen, the thin membrane across the opening of her vagina, has many small holes in it.

Cribriform hymen :- A cribriform hymen is a rare condition in which a girl's hymen, the thin membrane across the opening of her vagina, has many small holes in it. This type of hymen typically lets menstrual and other fluids out but may cause problems with tampon use, pelvic examination and, later in life, sexual activity.
Imperforate hymen: An imperforate hymen can sometimes be diagnosed at birth. More often, the diagnosis is made during the teen years. An imperforate hymen is a thin membrane that completely covers the opening to the vagina. Menstrual blood cannot flow out of the vagina. This usually causes the blood to back up into the vagina which often develops into a vaginal mass and abdominal and/or back pain. Some girls may also have pain with bowel movements and trouble passing urine.
The treatment for an imperforate hymen is minor surgery to remove the extra hymenal tissue and create a normal sized vaginal opening so that menstrual blood can flow out of the vagina
Septate hymen: A septate hymen is when the thin hymenal membrane has a band of extra tissue in the middle that causes two small vaginal openings instead of one. Young women with a septate hymen may have trouble getting a tampon in or trouble getting a tampon out. The treatment for a septate hymen is minor surgery to remove the extra band of tissue and create a normal sized vaginal opening.
Parous introitus hymen:- This type of hymen is nearly or completely absent and typically occurs in females who have given birth.This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is
