What are the consequences of masturbation during menstruation?

Patient's question:

Please ask if mild self-masturbation during menstruation, which involves gently rubbing through underwear to reach orgasm, will have any consequences?

Doctor's answer:

Self-masturbation during menstruation, due to the shedding of the endometrium during this period forming wounds, combined with the ease of introducing bacteria during masturbation, and since menstrual blood is an excellent medium for bacterial growth, it can easily lead to gynecological inflammation, such as endometritis, pelvic inflammation, and adnexitis. It is best to avoid this situation as much as possible.
During menstruation, pay attention to hygiene to avoid affecting your health. Do not self-masturbate during your period; this is basic. If you experience discomfort, have a comprehensive examination of your vaginal discharge.
