When does the hymen get formed?

From Wiki:The genital tract develops during embryogenesis, from the third week of gestation to the second trimester, and the hymen is formed following the vagina.At week seven, the urorectal septum forms and separates the rectum from the urogenital sinus.At week nine, the müllerian ducts move downwards to reach the urogenital sinus, forming the uterovaginal canal and inserting into the urogenital sinus.At week 12, the müllerian ducts fuse to create a primitive uterovaginal canal.At month 5, the vaginal canalization is complete and the fetal hymen is formed from the proliferation of the sinovaginal bulbs (where müllerian ducts meet the urogenital sinus), and becomes perforate before or shortly after birth.In newborn babies, still under the influence of the mother's hormones, the hymen is thick, pale pink, and redundant (folds in on itself and may protrude). For the first two to four years of life, the infant produces hormones that continue this effect. Their hymenal opening tends to be annular (circumferential).

Why do you get urogenital flora?

Urogenital flora refers to the diverse microorganisms that inhabit the urogenital tract, playing a crucial role in maintaining health. These microorganisms help to prevent infections by competing with pathogens, producing antimicrobial substances, and supporting the immune system. The balance of urogenital flora can be influenced by factors such as hormonal changes, sexual activity, and hygiene practices. Disruptions in this balance can lead to conditions like infections or imbalances, underscoring the importance of a healthy urogenital microbiome.
