Are there any dangers of masturbating during menstruation?

In our general understanding, men's desire for sex is very prominent, and masturbation generally happens to boys. However, to the surprise of many people, women, especially those entering puberty, have an equally strong desire for sex. So is masturbation harmful to women's bodies? Has the danger arrived? What harm will it cause if women masturbate during menstruation?

Female masturbation often occurs during adolescence because during this period, while women's sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics are developing, they are also undergoing significant psychological changes. Children's childishness gradually disappears, they develop a liking for the opposite sex and begin to have sexual demands. As their sexual organs mature, they have sexual desires, which leads some people to masturbate.

According to a survey conducted by some American psychologists, most 18-year-old American male youths have a history of masturbation to varying degrees, and about 60% of female youths have this behavior. The proportion of masturbation among Chinese teenagers is also not small, and this phenomenon also exists among young girls. From a medical point of view, masturbation itself is not harmful, and occasional masturbation by young girls will not have any effect on the body. However, excessive masturbation or masturbation as a hobby will have some adverse effects both physically and psychologically.

The harm of masturbation to teenage girls is mainly psychological: after the initial masturbation, accompanied by physiological pleasure, they often experience panic, fear, and helplessness. Curiosity drives them to look for relevant books everywhere. Once they find that this behavior is not good, they will immediately feel regret, shame, worry, and anxiety, and develop a sense of self-blame, guilt, and fear about masturbation. These psychological factors have become a heavy mental burden on them.

Afterwards, they will often be in conflict between their motivation to pursue pleasure and the resulting self-blame. At the same time, strong and persistent sexual psychological impulses will inevitably cause dizziness, insomnia, loss of appetite, inattention, memory loss and other phenomena. In addition to these general symptoms, it may also cause depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and mental abnormalities, which can damage physical and mental health in severe cases.

Due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of women, the harm caused by masturbation cannot be ignored. When young girls masturbate, due to unclean hands and foreign objects, it is easy for pathogens to be implanted in the body and cause infection.

(1) The female urethra is about 4 cm long, less than 1/3 of the male urethra, and is close to the vagina. Masturbation can cause congestion and slight damage to the urethral opening. Pathogens can quickly ascend to the bladder and even the kidneys through the short and straight urethra, causing infection. Mild symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination, etc., while severe symptoms may include back pain, chills, and fever. If not treated in time, it will become a chronic inflammation and recur frequently.

(2) The female vagina is only 7-8 cm long. Under normal circumstances, the vaginal opening is closed, which plays a certain protective role. Masturbation can open the vaginal opening, sending pathogens directly into the vagina. It is also very easy for the infection to spread upward and cause inflammation of the uterus and fallopian tubes.

(3) During sexual arousal, the amount of vaginal discharge increases and the Bartholin's glands at the vaginal opening also increase their secretion of fluid. These substances provide good conditions for the growth and development of bacteria. Masturbation can introduce bacteria into the reproductive organs, making them more likely to cause inflammation.

(4) Under normal circumstances, the female vagina is an acidic environment, which plays a certain role in preventing bacterial reproduction. However, during the menstrual period and before and after menstruation, this environment changes, creating conditions for the growth of pathogens. Masturbation during this stage is more likely to cause infection.

In addition, even if it does not directly cause inflammation, it has been clinically confirmed that when sexually excited, the reproductive organs are in a state of congestion. When they are in a state of congestion for a long time, it will cause excessive menstruation and cause inflammation of the reproductive organs. As for some people who place foreign objects into the vagina during masturbation, this not only increases the chance of infection but can sometimes cause damage.

Therefore, unmarried women should focus their main energy on study and work. You should have a correct attitude when learning and understanding sexual knowledge. Don't regard normal physiological phenomena as mysterious, and don't indulge in sexual issues and have wild thoughts. This way you won't develop the bad habit of lust.

Woman: Masturbation is also a science

Women usually masturbate by rubbing or pressing the clitoris, testicles, and labia, and sometimes they press or rub these parts together to reach a state of sexual excitement.

In fact, masturbation is also a science. Different methods should be used for different parts to achieve more satisfactory results. The clitoris is usually massaged up and down, left and right with fingers or other tools, and there is also circular massage; for the labia, it is best to gently pull it, because gently pulling the labia can drive the clitoris to move back and forth, producing a very comfortable pleasure. The clitoris is the most sensitive part of a woman. Prolonged stimulation will make women unbearable and become angry, so women generally do not massage and stimulate the clitoris for a long time when masturbating.

Very few women (sex scientists estimate about 20%) insert some kind of instrument into the vagina during masturbation, and those who do usually insert instruments into the vagina only to the vaginal opening, usually not too deep. Of course, some women will insert their fingers, dildos, vibrators, bananas, cucumbers, etc. deeply into their vagina when masturbating. When implementing the above methods, various types of lubricants are generally used. There are also quite a number of women who will constantly massage their breasts while stimulating their reproductive organs. Some women use towels, clothing, pillows, fur, silk, and other objects when masturbating to fully obtain sexual pleasure.

Some women like to lie down when masturbating, while others like to stand or sit. When standing or sitting, they can use door handles, dressing table drawer handles, chair edges and bedposts to rub sensitive areas. When standing or sitting, women can cross their legs and increase pressure on their genitals by contracting the muscles in their lower abdomen and thighs. Some women also get sexual pleasure through sports such as cycling and horse riding.

Moderate masturbation can relieve women's sexual desire and will not cause much harm to the body. However, if women masturbate frequently or too often, it will damage their physical and mental health.

In fact, in many cases, women’s desire for sex is understandable to a certain extent, so there is certainly no problem with moderate masturbation, but if masturbation continues, it will definitely cause harm to the human body to a certain extent.
