Why Do I Bleed After I Masturbate?

Published: March 28, 2018
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I'm a female virgin in my late teens and I can't find any answers to this question online!! Why am I bleeding after masturbating? I thought that Is cut myself with a fingernail but I cut my nails and this continues to happen. I hadn't been regularly masturbating for a long time but I switched birth control a couple of months ago and my drive went through the roof! It doesn't matter if I put fingers in either. I still bleed, sometimes with no pain! help!!

Dear Why Do I Bleed After I Masturbate?,

If you continually bleed right after masturbating, then FX recommends you schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, gynecologist or an adolescent medicine specialist. A scratch or a broken hymen can be the cause of bleeding. It is also possible you are spotting due to a change in birth control and it is coinciding with masturbating. However, since TeenHealthFX cannot know for sure, as well as the fact that this seems to be an ongoing problem, an exam with a medical professional would be best.

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
