What Could Cause Bleeding After Masturbation While Having An Etonogestrel Implant?
Hello, since a week or two I find myself bleeding after I cum from masturbating. It sticks to my fingers but in the night and day after I keep on bleeding and it feels like I'm menstruating. (Cramps, bleeding) However, I should not even be menstruating since I got an Implanon (etonogestrel implant). I am getting slightly anxious that something is wrong. I have never had sex before and so it only happens after masturbation/fingering.

Hi,
Sexual provocation leads to the release of the hormone Oxytocin and this can cause some breakthrough bleeding due to hormone disturbance and also cause uterine cramps. However, this is mild and the kind of persistent menstrual-like bleeding calls for further evaluation in person by a specialist. Also, weight gain while on hormonal contraceptives leads to improper balance and creates breakthrough bleeds. Coagulation profile, liver profile and blood counts may be needed. Hope this helps.
