Why am I bleeding after masturbating?

Why am I bleeding after masturbating? I am 22 years Old. I am not sexually active with a partner but I recently started masturbating again (about a month ago) and have been 2-3 times a week. To my knowledge I am not a virgin, I had intercourse once but didn't bleed much. Yesterday I was masturbating (no toys) with just my fingers, I have short nails. I didn't really insert my finger deep but did roughly play around with my vagina until I had an orgasm. When I stopped I felft normal, no pain, but when I saw my fingers they were stained with blood. This has never happened before so I'm pretty freaked out. And until today, the bleeding hasn't stopped. Its not my period because I'm not supposed to get it until another week or so and it's less blood than my period would be, plus I have no cramps or pain. I just feel uncomfortable. So I don't know if I cut myself and have an open womb and it could lead to an infection. Or if in fact I was a virgin which would be wierd... help me. Seriously in panic about this especially since the bleeding hasn't stopped.

If you are bleeding after masturbation still, then it might be because of some internal injury. It could also occur because of the broken hymen. If the bleeding is heavy, you must immediately consult your health professional or a gynecologist. Do not avoid this health ailment.

There is a huge possibility that it is your period as sometimes they like to screw around with you and come early or late, be painless or more painful, be heavy or light. It is also possible that if your nail grazed your walls the wrong way, you cut it. If you are really worried that see a doctor. My boyfriend cut my wall once and internet to the hospital and she’s said it was fine as long as I took like 3 days to rest. It wasn’t bleeding for days though so idk.

The walls of the vagina are really fast healing, my boyfriend once accidentally cut the inside of my vagina really badly but it was healed within 24 hours. As for your hymen, it doesn’t really matter if you break it, the hymen is just a small piece of skin that doesn’t really have much of a purpose, and if you aren’t sexually active for a while After breaking it the first time, it’ll grow back. It’s a pretty useless thing tho tbh so don’t worry, no one can tell the difference when you do end up having sex anyways.

I'm also thirteen And a virgin but lately I've masturbated and ill have blood on my fingers but its the consistency of discharge
I am exactly the same
same but like when i do it i get a blood but sometimes it looks like possibly a very light brownish i bleed to but normally when it happens i get super sore down there  i don't  know if theres something wrong or not
Brownish, kb352 is usually old blood you've dislodged.  It's more like 'spotting'.  Just keep that in mind.  Red blood is fresh.  So, nothing is probably wrong but you want to be gentle on yourself.
I'm 14 (almost 15) and i also bleed after masturbating, but just sometimes. But this time I woke up and went to pee, but then it was really hard. Because it's hurting when I pee and it's like burning. My nails are a little long now so I'm afraid that i might've cut myself in the inside. And plus, i can't tell my mom cuz she doesn't know i masturbate. i started masturbating when I was 12, almost 13. It happened like two times before, but never like this.
Well, if you weren't using an object but just your fingers, yes it is possible that you cut yourself. It would be a good idea either to keep your nails short (like a piano player does, that short) or to find a different way to masturbate. Using a vibrator or massager on the exterior and not putting anything (fingers or anything else) inside would work. If you think your mom would freak if you asked for a massager, ask her if you can get one of those at the drugstore that has a very innocuous picture of some guy massaging his shoulder with one, and tell her you have a sore muscle in your neck or upper back. Maybe she'll fall for it. lol

Point is, your clitoris can give you an orgasm when masturbating, and that can be reached by pressing from the outside and not sticking anything inside yourself. It's especially easy to do if you have a 'toy.'

I would certainly not put a finger with fingernail inside any more, since it seems like you do cut yourself. You don't want to develop scar tissue on the cervix, that could cause problems later.
As someone who started masturbating at age 6(sexual trauma caused sex addiction), I've had a lot of bleeding that wasn't my period and I wasn't putting anything inside myself, I researched a lot and it could be bruising,  it heals in 1-3 days and  I suggest you should be a little more gentle with yourself (BTW I'm only 15)

***** you crazy! flicking the bean isnt something to be ashamed of and im sorry but if your religion is telling you that the most basic of human actions (having an orgasm) is of some sort of demonic evil thing, then they are the ones that need life altering surgery (on their heads, not gentiles).
human rights services are trying to stop very similar genital mutilation in third world countries and you have volunteered your vagina to be turned into something that is barely recognisable as a pee hole. im sorry that you were so affected by societies views of female sexuality.. stay strong crazy lady and please seek some psychiatric help for your severe disorder.

Hello, I'm an 77 years old former masturbatrix and scratching my clitoris I bledmany times from nailing the thin mucosa. I becan to masturbate at age 7 and did it all my life several times a day (2 to 5 times daily ) In addition to the accidental scratching I chopped also a recurrent uretra and bladder infection/
These last years i used to masturbate more than 4 times a day.
That was beecoming a guilt for me and making me shy and even depressed to be a slave of self masturbation. Last year, after a life of guilt and regrets, I finally got excised and have had a clitoridectomy w. After healing of the scar where clitoris (now absentà used to be I tried to masturbate again by stretching and mulling inner labias !
Finalyy in a second step, I also got my innerlabias removed and my slit sutured, leaving onlt on lowest part of slit a small hole just for a way for an enema pear (for hygienic irrigations) but a hole justenough for pee, not wide enough forany masturbation's attempt.
After several months adaptative time and frustrations, now< I feel proud and and all is better, day adter day
Of course, by force, i stopped masturbation and, no needs to say i also 'm unable for vaginal intercourse

Pee doesn't come from the vagina, it comes from the uterus... those are two separate holes you're talking about there. Additionally what you're describing is a practice known as FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) something illegal in many western countries and I doubt any respectable surgeon would preform such a surgery.
*it comes from the uerthra

Hello,
This could have occurred due to trauma to the cervix. It is most commonly seen in vaginal infection like Chlamydia, gonorrhea, vaginal inflammation etc. it could also be due to disease of endometrium that is lining of uterus, polyps (mass) in uterus and cervix, fibroid tumors etc. You should consult an expert nearby for internal examinations.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

It could be a health issue that needs to be seen. It also could be from being too rough. But it may also be the hymen breaking. I've heard it grows back after a few weeks
