I am an 18 year old female, and since the age of, 13 I've known how to masturbate. At first, I only attempted to stimulate myself via external touch, and without internal penetration. However, at around 14 years old, there was an incident when I was toileting; I observed that my urine had a bloody color. I used to think that was my first period, but in actuality my menstruation cycle did not start until I was 15 years old. When I turned 17, I tried to insert my finger into my vagina to feel for the hymen, but I couldn’t seem to find it. Hence, I want to have some counseling from the doctor. Do signs of bleeding after masturbation mean that the hymen has been torn?

Masturbation in women refers to the act of stimulating the clitoris to experience sexual pleasure. This behavior is completely normal and can offer several benefits. However, excessive masturbation may lead to negative effects on both physical health and relationships.
