Dear TeenHealthFX,
Is it alright that everytime I masturbate I see blood on the object I used?

The answer
First, we want to assure you that masturbation is completely normal. However, bleeding after vaginal penetration by an object isn’t normal. The two parts of your body that can bleed from the friction or trauma are your vagina and your cervix.
It’s important to discuss any bleeding with your healthcare provider. TeenHealthFX recommends talking to your parents, guardian or other trusted adult and make an appointment with a medical professional.
