Patient's question:
Can you have masturbation after an abortion? On the 17th day after the abortion, I reached orgasm through masturbation, and the next day I found a small amount of brown discharge. Is masturbation also affected?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Under normal circumstances, we recommend waiting at least one month after an abortion before engaging in sexual activity. This is because if sexual intercourse occurs too soon after the procedure, bacteria introduced into the vagina can easily ascend and cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis. Therefore, it is best to wait one month after an abortion before resuming sexual activity to prevent intrauterine infection.It is very dangerous to engage in self-pleasure 17 days after an abortion. We strongly advise avoiding any form of masturbation for at least one month after the procedure, as it may negatively impact your long-term health.
If you experienced light brown discharge the day after self-pleasuring, it is likely vaginal bleeding. We recommend visiting a hospital for examination to avoid delaying treatment. This is definitely related to masturbation, as it is highly risky to engage in such activity only two weeks after an abortion.
Generally, we do not advocate for women to rely on masturbation to achieve sexual climax. It is better to engage in sexual activity through normal intercourse. If you develop a habit of excessive masturbation, it may have certain negative effects on your health.
Excessive masturbation can lead to central nervous system and systemic symptoms, such as depression, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, reduced comprehension, insomnia, frequent dreams, dizziness, palpitations, and more. Additionally, it may cause chronic prostatitis in the urinary and reproductive system, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, white discharge at the end of urination, discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, back pain and weakness, reduced libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and failure to ejaculate.
