Patient's question:
Can you have masturbation after an abortion? On the 17th day after an 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. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon, bacteria introduced into the vagina can easily ascend, leading to 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-pleasuring 17 days after an abortion. We advise refraining from self-pleasuring for at least one month to avoid long-term health issues.
After self-pleasuring, you noticed a small amount of brown discharge the next day, which is likely vaginal bleeding. We recommend seeking medical attention to avoid delayed treatment. This is definitely related to masturbation because you engaged in it only two weeks after the abortion, which is highly risky.
Generally, we do not advocate for women to achieve sexual climax through masturbation. It is better to use normal sexual intercourse channels. If you develop an excessive masturbation habit, it can have certain effects on your health.
Excessive masturbation can lead to central nervous system and systemic symptoms, such as depression, memory loss, poor concentration, 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.
