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?

Female masturbation is the act of stimulating the clitoris and creating a feeling of sexual pleasure. This is a completely normal sexual behavior and actually brings many benefits to certain people. However, frequent female masturbation can cause some negative effects on health as well as relationships with partners.
